4 Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, and is not puffed up.

5 It does not behave improperly, does not seek the things of itself, is not made sharp, does not contemplate evil,

6 does not rejoice in wrong but rejoices in the truth,

7 covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But whether prophecies, they will be abolished, whether tongues, they will cease, whether knowledge, it will be abolished.
