Love

1 Corinthians 13:4-7:

                4 Love suffereth long: it is bountiful: love envieth not: love doth not boast itself: it is not puffed up:
                5 It doth no uncomely thing: it seeketh not her own thing: it is not provoked to anger: it thinketh no evil:
                6 It rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth:
                7 It suffereth all things: it believeth all things: it hopeth all things: it endureth all things. (1599 Geneva Bible.)

            4 Love is patient, love is kind.
            Love does not envy,
            is not boastful, is not conceited,
            5 does not act improperly,
            is not selfish, is not provoked,
            and does not keep a record of wrongs.
            6 Love finds no joy in unrighteousness
            but rejoices in the truth.
            7 It bears all things, believes all things,
            hopes all things, endures all things. (Holman Christian Standard Bible.)
