Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails…. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
By the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been ineffective. 1 Cor. 15:10
Let love be sincere. Hate what is evil, hold on to what is good. Love one another with mutual affection: anticipate one another in showing honor. Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the holy ones, exercise hospitality. Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Have the same regard for one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly; do not be wise in your own estimation. Do not repay anyone evil for evil; be concerned for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible on your part live at peace with all. Beloved, do not look for revenge but leave room for the wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine. I will repay,” says the Lord. Rather, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink;” for by doing so, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good. Romans 12: 9-21
Owe nothing to anyone, except to love another. Romans 13:8
But God proves his love for us in while we were still sinners Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. John
