1 Corinthians 13:7

Love, The More Excellent Way

⁶ rejoices not in wickedness, but rejoices in the truth; ⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes for all things, and endures all things. ⁸ Love never fails; but if there are prophecies, they shall pass away; if tongues, they shall cease; if knowledge, it shall pass away.
