1 Corinthians 13 : Revised

“Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.”

Love is patient if you are not taking up too much of its time, love is kind when it has a reason to be.
Love will envy another if it is not satisfied with what it already has.
Love will boast out of pride – and also out of arrogance. Love will be rude if something gets in the way of its happiness.
Love will be selfish in seizing the best of everything for itself, will not only take offense but give it back.
Love will surrender if the pain is too much for it to bear.
Love’s faith is easily shaken and will not withstand the elements.
Love will give up hope and cease to exist, much less endure, if times are too trying and the winds of fate are too strong.
In a word, there are three things that are meant to last forever: faith, hope, and love;
Faith so easily shaken, hope so easily shattered,
And love, so easily lost.
