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: VP
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. VP
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. VP
4 Loue suffreth long, and is curteous: Loue enuieth not, loue doth not frowardely, swelleth not, VP
5 Dealeth not dishonestlie, seeketh not her owne, is not prouoked to anger, thynketh none euyll, VP
6 Reioyceth not in iniquitie: bur reioyceth in the trueth: VP
7 Suffreth all thynges, beleueth all thynges, hopeth all thynges, endureth all thynges. VP
8 Though ye prophesiynges fayle, other tongues ceasse, or knowledge vanishe away, yet loue falleth neuer away. VP
9 For our knowledge is vnperfect, and our prophesiyng is vnperfect: VP
10 But when that which is perfect, is come, then that which is vnperfect shalbe done away. VP
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. VP
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. VP
13 Nowe abydeth fayth, hope, and loue, these three, but the chiefe of these is loue. VP
