1 Corinthians 13

1 Though I could speak with the tongues of men, of angels, but have not love, I become as sounding brass, or a noisy cymbal.

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 have prophecy, and know all secrets, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

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 spend all my goods in feeding the poor, and though I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I am nothing profited.

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 suffers long, and is kind. Love envies not. Love does not vaunt; is not puffed up;

Love suffreth longe and is corteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not frowardly swelleth not dealeth

5 does not behave itself unbecomingly; does not seek its own things; is not exasperated; does not imagine evil;

not dishonestly seketh not her awne is not provoked to anger thynketh not evyll

6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but greatly rejoices in the truth:

reioyseth not in iniquite: but reioyseth in ye trueth

7 covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

suffreth all thynge beleveth all thynges hopeth all thynges endureth in all thynges.

8 Love never fails: but, whether prophecies, they will be out of use: or foreign languages, they shall cease: or science, it shall be abolished.

Though that prophesyinge fayle other tonges shall cease ) or knowledge vanysshe awaye yet love falleth never awaye

9 For we know only in part, and prophesy in part.

For oure knowledge is vnparfect and oure prophesyinge is vnperfet.

10 But when perfection is come, then what is in part will be done away.

But when yt which is parfect is come then yt which is vnparfet shall be done awaye.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I conceived as a child, I reasoned as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things.

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 For now we seek through a glass obscurely; but then, face to face: now, I know in part; but then, I shall fully know, even as I am fully known.

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 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three: but the greatest of these is love.

Now abideth fayth hope and love even these thre: but the chefe of these is love.
