1 Corinthians 13 : 4 - 8a (NIV-'84)

4 Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
8a Love never fails.
