| 13:1 | If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling; |
| 13:2 | and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing; |
| 13:3 | and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing. |
| 13:4 | The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up, |
| 13:5 | doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil, |
| 13:6 | rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth; |
| 13:7 | all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth. |
| 13:8 | The love doth never fail; and whether `there be' prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless; |
| 13:9 | for in part we know, and in part we prophecy; |
| 13:10 | and when that which is perfect may come, then that which `is' in part shall become useless. |
| 13:11 | When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe; |
| 13:12 | for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known; |
| 13:13 | and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these `is' love. |
| 13:1 | 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. |
| 13:2 | 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. |
| 13:3 | 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. |
| 13:4 | Love suffreth longe and is corteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not frowardly swelleth not dealeth |
| 13:5 | not dishonestly seketh not her awne is not provoked to anger thynketh not evyll |
| 13:6 | reioyseth not in iniquite: but reioyseth in ye trueth |
| 13:7 | suffreth all thynge beleveth all thynges hopeth all thynges endureth in all thynges. |
| 13:8 | Though that prophesyinge fayle other tonges shall cease ) or knowledge vanysshe awaye yet love falleth never awaye |
| 13:9 | For oure knowledge is vnparfect and oure prophesyinge is vnperfet. |
| 13:10 | But when yt which is parfect is come then yt which is vnparfet shall be done awaye. |
| 13:11 | 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. |
| 13:12 | 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. |
| 13:13 | Now abideth fayth hope and love even these thre: but the chefe of these is love. |
| 13:1 | Though I spake with the tunges of men and angels, and yet had not loue, I were euen as sowndinge brasse, or as a tynklinge Cymball. |
| 13:2 | And though I coulde prophecy, & vnderstode all secretes, and all knowlege, and had all faith, so that I coulde moue moutaynes out of their places, and yet had not loue, I were nothinge. |
| 13:3 | And though I bestowed all my goodes to fede ye poore, and though I gaue my body euen that I burned, and yet haue not loue, it profiteth me nothinge. |
| 13:4 | Loue is pacient & curteous, loue envyeth not, loue doth not frowardly, is not puft vp, dealeth not dishonestly, |
| 13:5 | seketh not hir awne, is not prouoked vnto anger, thynketh not euell, |
| 13:6 | reioyseth not ouer iniquyte, but reioyseth in the trueth, |
| 13:7 | beareth all thinges, beleueth all thinges, hopeth all thinges, suffreth all thinges. |
| 13:8 | Though prophecienges fayle, or tunges ceasse, or knowlege perishe, yet loue falleth neuer awaye. |
| 13:9 | For oure knowlege is vnparfecte, and oure prophecienge is vnparfecte. |
| 13:10 | But wha that which is perfecte, commeth, then shal the vnparfecte be done awaye. |
| 13:11 | Whan I was a childe, I spake as a childe, I vnderstode as a childe, I ymagined as a childe. But as soone as I was a man, I put awaye childishnes. |
| 13:12 | Now we se thorow a glasse in a darke speakynge, but the shal we se face to face. Now I knowe vnperfectly: but the shal I knowe eue as I am knowne. |
| 13:13 | Now abydeth faith, hope, loue, these thre: but the greatest of these is loue. |
