loveth

Biblically holds dear

Loveth is an archaic third-person singular form of love, using the -eth ending that was standard in Early Modern English: He that loveth not knoweth not God.

The form survives almost exclusively in biblical quotations and deliberate archaism.

Modern English uses loves.
