1 Corinthians 13:4-7

World English Bible

Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, Doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; Doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

Reflection

Often read at weddings, these lines describe love not as a feeling but as a way of acting: patient, kind, not proud, always hoping. It is a picture of how God loves us and how we can love each other.

Pray with this verse

Lord, thank you for this word. Write it on my heart today and help me to live it. Amen.
