1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (AMP)
⁴ Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant.
⁵ It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured.
⁶ It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail].
⁷ Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].
⁸ Love never fails [it never fades nor ends].
