¶ The .xiij. Chapter. &cross2;
¶ The natures and condicions of loue.
A Though I spake with the tonges of
men and of angels, and haue no
loue. I am euen as sounding brasse,
or as a tynklinge cymball. And
note though I coulde prophesy, and vnderstode
all secretes, and all knowledge: yee &rhand; yf
I haue all fayth, note so that I can moue mountayns
oute of their places, and yet haue
no loue, I am nothynge. And though I bestowe
all my goodes to fede the poore, and
though I geue my body euen that I burned,
and yet haue no loue, it profyteth me nothynge.
B Loue suffreth longe, and is curteous. Loue
enuyeth not. Loue doth not frowardly, swelleth
not, dealeth not dishonestly note seketh not
her awne, is not prouoked to anger, thynketh
no euyll, reioyseth not in iniquyte: but
reioyseth in the trueth, suffreth all thynges,
beleueth all thynges, hopeth all thynges, endureth
all thynges. Though that prophesyinges
fayle, other tonges cease, or knowledge
vanysshe awaye,
C yet loue falleth neuer
awaye.
For &rhand; oure knowledge is vnperfect, and
oure prophesyinge is vnperfect. But when
þt; whych is perfect, is come, then that whych
is vnperfect, shall be done awaye. When I
was a chylde, I spake as a chylde, I vnderstode
as a chylde, I ymagined as a chylde.
But assone as I was a man, I put awaye
chyldeshnes. Nowe we se in a glasse, eu&ebar; in a
darcke speakyng: but then shall we se face to
face. Nowe I knowe vnperfectly: but then
shall I knowe euen as I am know&ebar;. Nowe
abydeth fayth, hope, and loue, eu&ebar; these thre:
but the &rhand; chefe of these is loue. &cross3;
