Love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
It is not conceited
(arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not
act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or
its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or
resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to
a suffered wrong].
It does not rejoice
at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
Love bears up under
anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every
person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures
everything [without weakening].
Love never fails [never fades out or
becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. (1 Cor. 13:4-8)
