“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres.
Corinthians 13:4-7
