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.
At one time we too were foolish, disovedient, decieved and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We live in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his vcovenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
