“ Nū bidde ic þē, ƿīf, nā sƿā ic ƿrīte þē nīƿe bod, ac þæt ƿē siþþan þǣre onȝinnunȝe hæfden habbaþ, and þæt is þæt ƿē ǣlc ōðerne lufien. 6. And þēos is lufu: þæt ƿē ȝān æfter his bodum; and þis is þæt bod, sƿā sƿā ƿē habbaþ fram þǣre onȝinnunȝe ȝehīered, sƿā þæt ȝe sculen æfter him ȝān. 7. For þǣm þe maniȝe mirran sindon on þā ƿorulde ȝecomen þe ne andetaþ þæt se Hǣlend Crīst is on þǣm flǣsce ȝecomen. Þes is se mirra and se ƿiðercrīst. 8. Behealdaþ ȝē ēoƿic, þæt ȝē ne belēosen þæt þe ƿē habbaþ ȝeƿorht, ac þæt ȝē fōn fulle mēde. ”
