1 Corinthians 13:4-13 ▼

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.
