LOVE

LOVE is patient
LOVE is kind
LOVE does not envy
LOVE does not boast
LOVE is not proud
LOVE is rude
LOVE is not self-seeking
LOVE 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.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not LOVE, I gain nothing

Hatred stirs up dissension, but LOVE covers over all wrongs

A bowl of vegetables with someone you LOVE is better than steak with someone you hate

LOVE prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends

A friend LOVES at all times, and a brother is born for adversity

Dear children, let us not LOVE with words or tongue but with actions and in truth

There is no fear in LOVE. But perfect LOVE drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in LOVE.

LOVE bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. LOVE never ends
