1 Cor 13:1-9 : 1 Though I speake with the tongues of men and of Angels, and haue not loue, I am as soundyng brasse, or as a tincklyng Cimball:
2 And though I coulde prophesie, and vnderstoode all secretes, and all knowledge: Yea, if I had all fayth, so that I coulde moue mountaynes out of their places, and haue not loue, I were nothyng.
3 And though I bestowe all my goodes to feede the poore, and though I geue my body that I burned, and haue not loue, it profiteth me nothyng.
4 Loue suffreth long, and is curteous: Loue enuieth not, loue doth not frowardely, swelleth not,
5 Dealeth not dishonestlie, seeketh not her owne, is not prouoked to anger, thynketh none euyll,
6 Reioyceth not in iniquitie: bur reioyceth in the trueth:
7 Suffreth all thynges, beleueth all thynges, hopeth all thynges, endureth all thynges.
8 Though ye prophesiynges fayle, other tongues ceasse, or knowledge vanishe away, yet loue falleth neuer away.
9 For our knowledge is vnperfect, and our prophesiyng is vnperfect:
10 But when that which is perfect, is come, then that which is vnperfect shalbe done away.
11 When I was a chylde, I spake as a childe, I vnderstode as a childe, I imagined as a chylde: But assoone as I was a man, I put away chyldishnesse.
12 Nowe we see in a glasse, euen in a darke speakyng: but then shall we see face to face. Nowe I knowe vnperfectly: but then shall I knowe euen as I am knowen.
13 Nowe abydeth fayth, hope, and loue, these three, but the chiefe of these is loue.
