Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is not jealous
Love is not boastful
Love is not rude
Love does not demand its own way
Love is not irritable
Love keeps no record of being wronged
Love does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out
Love never gives up
Love never loses faith
Love is always hopeful
Love endures through every circumstance
 
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7, NLT)
