Love Described
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not selfseeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies,
they will cease;
where there are tongues,
they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge,
it will pass away.
And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8; 13 NIV
