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.

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.
