Original text and translations

Latin text Cum essem parvulus, Loquebar ut parvulus, Sapiebam ut parvulus, Cogitabam ut parvulus, Quando autem factus sum vir, Evacuavi quae erant parvuli: Videmus nunc per speculum ænigmate, Tunc autem facie ad faciem. Nunc cognosco ex parte, Tunc autem cognoscam sicut et cognitus sum. Nunc autem manent: Fides, Spes, Charitas tria hæc: Major autem horum est Charitas.

English translation When I was a child, I talked like a child, I possessed a child's knowledge, I thought like a child. But now that I am a man, I have put aside childish things. We now see confused images as through a mirror, But then [we'll see] directly. Now I know [things] partially, Then, however, I will know in the way I have also been known. Now thus remain these three things: Faith, Hope, and Charity. But the greatest of them is Charity.
