​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 self-seeking,

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.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
