This is the greatest and the first commandment. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments. But I shall show you a still more excellent way. If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. By Paul Flanagan and Robert Schihl .
