⁴ Love is patient,
love is kind,
it does not envy,
it does not brag,
it is not puffed up,
⁵ it does not behave inappropriately,
it does not seek its own way,
it is not provoked,
it keeps no account of wrong,
⁶ it does not rejoice over injustice
    but rejoices in the truth;
⁷ it bears all things,
it believes all things,
it hopes all things,
it endures all things.

⁸ Love never fails—
but where there are prophecies,
    they will pass away;
where there are tongues,
    they will cease;
where there is knowledge,
    it will pass away.
