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.
And now
these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
