4 Love is patient, love is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, is not arrogant;5 does not behave disgracefully, does not seek its own, is not provoked to anger, thinks no evil;6 does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.8 Love never fails. But whether there [are] prophecies, they shall pass away; whether there[ are] tongues, they shall cease; whether there[ is] knowledge, it shall pass away.
