text: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (New International Version)\nNew International Version (NIV)\nCopyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society\n\n    \n\n 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
