¹ Though I spake with the tonges of me and angels and yet had no love I were eve as soundinge brasse: or as a tynklynge Cymball.² And though I coulde prophesy and vnderstode all secretes and all knowledge: yee yf I had all fayth so that I coulde move moutayns oute of ther places and yet had no love I were nothynge.³ And though I bestowed all my gooddes to fede ye poore and though I gave my body even that I burned and yet had no love it profeteth me nothinge.

⁴ Love suffreth longe and is corteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not frowardly swelleth not dealeth⁵ not dishonestly seketh not her awne is not provoked to anger thynketh not evyll⁶ reioyseth not in iniquite: but reioyseth in ye trueth⁷ suffreth all thynge beleveth all thynges hopeth all thynges endureth in all thynges.

⁸ Though that prophesyinge fayle other tonges shall cease ) or knowledge vanysshe awaye yet love falleth never awaye⁹ For oure knowledge is vnparfect and oure prophesyinge is vnperfet.¹⁰ But when yt which is parfect is come then yt which is vnparfet shall be done awaye.¹¹ When I was a chylde I spake as a chylde I vnderstode as a childe I ymagened as a chylde. But assone as I was a man I put awaye childesshnes.¹² Now we se in a glasse even in a darke speakynge: but then shall we se face to face. Now I knowe vnparfectly: but then shall I knowe even as I am knowen.¹³ Now abideth fayth hope and love even these thre: but the chefe of these is love.
