4 Love is always patient, Love is always kind, Love is never envious Or vaunted up with pride. Nor is she conceited,

5 And never is she rude, Never does she think of self Or ever get annoyed. She never is resentful,

6 Is never glad with sin, But always glad to side with truth, Whene'er the truth should win.

7 She bears up under everything, Believes the best in all, There is no limit to her hope, And never will she fall.

8 Love never fails. Now if there are prophecies, they will be done away with. If there are tongues, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
