Love

Hatred stirs up strife

Love covers all transgressions

Keep your love fervent

-Proverbs 10:12, 1 Peter 4:8

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

And if I give all my possessions to feed, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

Love is patient with imperfect people

Love is kind active in doing good

Love is not jealous but rejoices in others promotion

Love does not brag but self-effacing

Love is not arrogant or puffed up

Love does not act unbecomingly and is not rude but courteous, displaying good manners

Love does not seek its own or insist on getting its own  way, rights or privileges

Love is not provoked, touchy, fretful or resentful but displays grace under pressure

Love does not take into account a wrong suffered, doesn't keep score in relationships

Love does not rejoice in unrighteousness, finding satisfaction in the shortcomings of others and spreading an evil report

Love rejoices in the truth, aggressively advertising the good

Love bears all things and never gives up on people

Love believes all things and is ever ready to believe the best of every person, credits people with good intentions and is not suspicious

Love hopes all things, never giving up on people, but affirming their future

Love endures all things without weakening, persevering to the end

Love never fails.

-1 Corinthians 13:1-8 (NASB-expanded)
