Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
