⁴ Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,

⁵ doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

⁶ doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. where there are various languages, they will cease. where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

¹² No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
