“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy,

it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not

rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily

angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love

does not delight in evil but rejoices with the

truth. It always protects, always trusts, always

hopes, always perseveres... And now these

three remain: faith hope and love. But the

greatest of these is love.” —Bible (I

Corinthians 13:4-7, 13)
