Love

Love is patient, covering a multitude of sins.

Love is kind and gentle, turning away wrath.

Love is not jealous, for where envy and selfish ambition are there is disorder and every evil practice.

Love is not arrogant, for arrogance stirs up strife, and God resists the proud.

Love is not rude and the words of a wise man are gracious.

Love does not seek its own and does nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but humbly regards others as more important.

Love is not quick to anger, because the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.

Love does not keep a record of wrongs, but forgives seventy times seven, just as God in Christ has forgiven.

Love does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the Lord and seeks His righteousness.

Love rejoices in the truth of His word.

Love bears all things, carrying the burdens of others and thus fulfilling the law of Christ.

Love believes all things, and is not driven and tossed by the wind.

Love hopes all things, looking for the blessed appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

Love endures all things, laying aside every encumbrance and entangling sin and running the race with endurance.

Love never fails.
