4 The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love does not envy, the love does not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,5 does not act unseemly, does not seek its own things, is not provoked, does not impute evil,6 rejoices not over the unrighteousness, and rejoices with the truth;7 all things it bears, all it believes, all it hopes, all it endures.8 The love does never fail; and whether there be prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;
