1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, it does not boast.

Love is not proud. Love is not self -seeking, it is not

easily angered. Love keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.
