The Way Love Behaves

Love is patient. Love shows-kindness. Love does not envy[a], does not brag, is not puffed-up, does not behave-dishonorably[b], does not seek its own things, is not provoked[c], does not count[d] the bad, does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices-with the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love Is Permanent; Gifts Are Temporary. Be Pursuing Love

Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will be set-aside[e]. If there are tongues, they will cease[f]. If there is knowledge, it will be set-aside.
