| 1 | If Y speke with tungis of men and of aungels, and Y haue not charite, Y am maad as bras sownynge, or a cymbal tynkynge. |
| 2 | And if Y haue prophecie, and knowe alle mysteries, and al kunnynge, and if Y haue al feith, so that Y meue hillis fro her place, and Y haue not charite, Y am nouyt. |
| 3 | And if Y departe alle my goodis in to the metis of pore men, and yf Y bitake my bodi, so that Y brenne, and if Y haue not charite, it profitith to me no thing. |
| 4 | Charite is pacient, it is benygne; charite enuyeth not, it doith not wickidli, it is not blowun, |
| 5 | it is not coueytouse, it sekith not tho thingis that ben hise owne, it is not stirid to wraththe, it thenkith not yuel, |
| 6 | it ioyeth not on wickidnesse, but it ioieth togidere to treuthe; |
| 7 | it suffrith alle thingis, it bileueth alle thingis, it hopith alle thingis, it susteyneth alle thingis. |
| 8 | Charite fallith neuere doun, whether prophecies schulen be voidid, ethir langagis schulen ceesse, ethir science schal be distried. |
| 9 | For a parti we knowun, and a parti we prophecien; |
| 10 | but whanne that schal come that is parfit, that thing that is of parti schal be auoidid. |
| 11 | Whanne Y was a litil child, Y spak as a litil child, Y vndurstood as a litil child, Y thouyte as a litil child; but whanne Y was maad a man, Y auoidide tho thingis that weren of a litil child. |
| 12 | And we seen now bi a myrour in derknesse, but thanne face to face; now Y knowe of parti, but thanne Y schal knowe, as Y am knowun. |
| 13 | And now dwellen feith, hope, and charite, these thre; but the most of these is charite. |
