12 katapi New Standard Bible Passage
31But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.  
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have no love,
I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
 
2And if I have prophetic powers,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
but have no love,
I AM nothing.
 
3If I give away all I have,
and if I deliver my body to be burned,
but have no love,
I GAIN nothing.
 
4Love is patient and kind;
love is not jealous or boastful;
 
5it is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful;
 
6it does not rejoice at wrong,
but rejoices in the right.
 
7Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
 
Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi New Standard Bible.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages,
and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages.
Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole,
with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
