Defining Love

Love is patient

Love is kind

It is not jealous

Love does not brag

And it is not arrogant

 

Love doesn’t not act unbecomingly

It does not seek its own way

It is not provoked

Love doesn’t not take into account a wrong suffered

It doesn’t not rejoice in unrighteousness

But rejoices in truth

 

Love bears all things

Believes all things

Hopes all things

Endures all things

 

Love never fails

 

1 Corinthians 13:4-8, paraphrased from the New American Standard Bible.
