1 Corinthians 13:4

Love, The More Excellent Way

³ And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me. ⁴ Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride; ⁵ Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

Love Does Not Envy

Put on

Slow to Anger

Charity Envieth Not
