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 account of wrongs.Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love.Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.
