"Love must be sincere.
Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Honor one another above yourselves.
Never be lacking in zeal,
but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction,
faithful in prayer.
Share with God's people who are in need.
Practice hospitality.
Bless those that persecute you;
bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those that rejoice;
mourn with those who mourn.
Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be proud..."
Romans 12:9-16a (NIV)
If I give all that I possess to the poor
and surrender my body to the flames,
but have not love, I have nothing.
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
1 Corinthians 13:3-8a
