5 ἀγάπη
κολλᾷ
ἡμᾶς
τῷ
θεῷ,
ἀγάπη
καλύπτει
πλῆθος
ἁμαρτιῶν,
ἀγάπη
πάντα
ἀνέχεται,
πάντα
μακροθυμεῖ·
οὐδὲν
βάναυσον
ἐν
ἀγάπῃ,
οὐδὲν
ὑπερήφανον·
ἀγάπη
σχίσμα
οὐκ
ἔχει,
ἀγάπη
οὐ
στασιάζει,
ἀγάπη
πάντα
ποιεῖ
ἐν
ὁμονοίᾳ·
ἐν
τῇ
ἀγάπῃ
ἐτελειώθησαν
πάντες
οἱ
ἐκλεκτοὶ
τοῦ
θεοῦ,
δίχα
ἀγάπης
οὐδὲν
εὐάρεστόν
ἐστιν
τῷ
θεῷ.

Love unites us with God; love covers a multitude of sins; love endures all things, is patient in all things. There is nothing coarse in love, nothing arrogant. Love has no divisions, love makes no seditions, love does all things in harmony. In love all the elect of God were made mature; without love nothing is pleasing to God;

αὐτοῦ
ἔδωκεν
ὑπὲρ
ἡμῶν
Ἰησοῦς
Χριστὸς
ὁ
κύριος
ἡμῶν
ἐν
θελήματι
θεοῦ,
καὶ
τὴν
σάρκα
ὑπὲρ
τῆς
σαρκὸς
ἡμῶν
καὶ
τὴν
ψυχὴν
ὑπὲρ
τῶν
ψυχῶν
ἡμῶν.

in love the Master received us. Because of the love He had for us, Jesus Christ our Lord gave His blood for us by the will of God, and His flesh for our flesh and His life for our lives.
