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 truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
If I were trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principals of this world rather than Christ. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
