4 Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love makes no parade, is not puffed up,

5 is not rude, nor selfish, nor easily provoked. Love bears no malice, never rejoices over wrong-doing,

6 but rejoices when the truth rejoices.

7 It knows how to be silent, it is trustful, hopeful, patient, enduring.

8 Love never fails; but though there are prophecies, they will fail; though there are tongues, they will cease; though there is knowledge, it will be superseded.
