1 Corinthians 12:31-13:9

Bishops(i) 31 Couet after the best giftes: And yet shew I vnto you a more excellent way 13 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 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 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 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
