LOVE, THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY / DIE UITNEMENDHEID VAN DIE LIEFDE.

7 October 2013. 

LOVE, THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY:

Part 2.

1. English - (NIV Translation)

[1 Corinthians 13:8:13]

8. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.  

9. For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10. But when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.  

11. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 

12. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.  Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 

13. And now these three remain: faith hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

DIE UITNEMENDHEID VAN DIE LIEFDE:

Gedeelte 2.

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[1 Korinthiërs 13:8-13]

8. Die liefde vergaan nimmermeer; maar profesië - hulle sal tot niet gaan; of tale - hulle sal ophou; of kennis - dit sal tot niet gaan. 

9. Want ons ken ten dele en ons profeteer ten dele.  

10. Maar as die Volmaakte gekom het, dan sal wat ten dele is, tot niet gaan. 

11. Toe ek 'n kind was, het ek gepraat soos 'n kind, gedink soos 'n kind, geredeneer soos 'n kind; maar nou dat ek 'n man is, het ek die dinge van 'n kind afgelê. 

12. Want nou sien ons deur 'n spieël in 'n raaisel, maar eendag van aangesig tot aangesig. Nou ken ek ten dele, maar eendag sal ek ten volle ken, net soos ek ten volle geken is. 

13. En nou bly geloof, hoop, liefde - hierdie drie; maar die grootste hiervan is die liefde.

LOVE, THE MORE EXCELLENT WAY / DIE UITNEMENDHEID VAN DIE LIEFDE.

6 October 2013. 

LOVE, THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY:

Part 1.

1. English - (NIV Translation)

[1 Corinthians 13:1-7]

1. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 

2. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 

3. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 

4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

5. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

6. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. 

7. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

(God willing, and with His grace,

part 2 will follow tomorrow.)

DIE UITNEMENDHEID VAN DIE LIEFDE:

Gedeelte 1.

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[1 Korinthiërs 13:1-7]

1. Al sou ek die taal van mense en engele spreek, en ek het nie die liefde nie, dan het ek 'n klinkende metaal of 'n luidende simbaal geword. 

2. En al sou ek die gawe van profesie hê en al die geheimenisse weet en al die kennis, en al sou ek al die geloof hê, sodat ek berge kon versit, en ek het nie die liefde nie, dan sou ek niks wees nie. 

3. En al sou ek al my goed uitdeel, en al sou ek my liggaam oorgee om verbrand te word, en ek het nie die liefde nie, dan sou dit my niks baat nie. 

4. Die liefde is lankmoedig en vriendelik; die liefde is nie jaloers nie; die liefde praat nie groot nie, is nie opgeblase nie,

5. Handel nie onwelvoeglik nie, soek nie sy eie belang nie, word nie verbitterd nie, reken die kwaad nie toe nie,

6. Is nie bly oor die ongeregtigheid nie, maar is bly saam met die waarheid. 

7. Dit bedek alles, glo alles, hoop alles, verdra alles. 

(As God wil en deur Sy genade sal gedeelte 2 môre volg.)

THEY WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT / HULLE IS VERVUL MET DIE HEILIGE GEES.

THEY WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT:

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Acts 2:2-4,6-8]

2. When suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting. 

3. And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were separated and distributed and which settled on each one of them. 

4. And they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit kept giving them, clear and loud expression (in each tongue in appropriate words).

6. And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together and they were astonished and bewildered, because each one heard them (the apostles) speaking in his own (particular) dialect. 

7. And they were beside themselves with amazement, saying: "Are not all these who are talking Galileans?"

8. "And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own (particular) dialect to which we were born?"

3. Toe is deur hulle tonge gesien soos van vuur, wat hulleself verdeel en op elkeen van hulle gaan sit. 

4. En hulle is almal vervul met die Heilige Gees en het begin spreek in ander tale, soos die Gees aan hulle gegee het om uit te spreek. 

6. En toe hierdie geluid kom, het die menigte saamgestroom en was in die war, want elkeen het gehoor hoe hulle in sy eie taal spreek;

7. En hulle was almal verbaas en verwonderd en sê vir mekaar: "Is almal wat daar spreek, dan nie Galileërs nie?"

8. "En hoe hoor ons hulle, elkeen in ons eie taal waarin ons gebore is?"
