1 Corinthians 13 and more

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient and kind.
Love is not easily angered. Love bears with another. Through trials, love is calm and uplifting.
Love does not envy or boast.
Love is not used for rank, popularity, or to fit into the world. Love is not a possession. Love is being humble and putting another before itself.
It is not arrogant or rude.
Love humbles itself. Love is not crude. Love is a softened heart, which puts the emotional wellbeing of others ahead of itself.
It does not insist on its own way.
Love is not stubborn and hard headed. Love makes compromises and is flexible to proper change.
It is not irritable or resentful.
Anger is not love. Love breaks down the walls of the past and starts each day anew All actions based in love will not be regretted. Love keeps no record of wrongdoing and fully forgives.
It does not rejoice at wrongdoing.
Love does not accept sin. Love bears together and turns against the sin.
But rejoices in the truth.
Love is honest, even when it may hurt. When everything is brought into the light, in truth, iniquity can be forgiven, and life can go on.
Love bears all things.
Through thick and thin, sickness and in health, truly until death do they part. Love bears all happiness, joy, sorrow, and pain.
Believes all things.
Love has faith in God and in another. Love believes that through everything, the good and the bad, it will all work out in the end for His glory.
Hopes all things.
Love has hope for the future, hope that things and people can change. Love looks past current trials and tribulation, to the future and the plan God has put in motion.
Endures all things.
Sickness and in health, good times and bad, joy and sorrow, love prevails and continues.
