Love

The true meaning of love

Love suffers long and is kind; 

love does not envy;

love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

does not behave rudely,

does not seek its own, 

is not provoked, 

thinks no evil; 

does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

bears all things,

believes all things,

hopes all things,

endures all things.

Love never fails.

And now abide faith,

hope,

love,

these three;

but the greatest of these is love. 

1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, 

put on tender mercies, 

kindness,

humility,
meekness,

longsuffering; 

bearing with one another,

and forgiving one another,

if anyone has a complaint against another;

even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.  

But above all these things put on love,

which is the bond of perfection. 

Colossians 3:12-14
