"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. It is not boastful or conceited. It is not rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. It does not take pleasure in other people's sins; but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes."
