Love is
patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is
not proud. It is not
rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps
no record of wrongs. Love does
not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth. It always
protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are
prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will
be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass
away.
