Arabic calligraphy text in English:
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-8)
Arabic calligraphy text in Arabic (original):
“إن كنت أتكلم بألسنة الناس والملائكة ولكن ليس لي محبة، فقد صرت نحاسا يطن أو صنجا يرن. وإن كانت لي نبوة، وأعلم جميع الأسرار وكل علم، وإن كان لي كل الإيمان حتى أنقل الجبال، ولكن ليس لي محبة، فلست شيئا. وإن أطعمت كل أموالي، وإن سلمت جسدي حتى أحترق، ولكن ليس لي محبة، فلا أنتفع شيئا المحبة تتأنى وترفق. المحبة لا تحسد. المحبة لا تتفاخر، ولا تنتفخ. ولا تقبح، ولا تطلب ما لنفسها، ولا تحتد، ولا تظن السوء. ولا تفرح بالإثم بل تفرح بالحق. وتحتمل كل شيء، وتصدق كل شيء، وترجو كل شيء، وتصبر على كل شيء. المحبة لا تسقط أبدا.” (1 كورنثوس 13: 1-8)
