If I speak in the tongues of humans and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Love takes away sins because God is love. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
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.
