Love, The More Excellent Way

³ and tho' I distribute my whole substance to the poor, and give my body to be burned, and have not social affection, it profits me nothing. ⁴ Social affection is patient, is kind; is a stranger to envy; is not insolently vain, nor arrogant: does not behave indecently, ⁵ is not self-interested, is not easily provoked, nor suspects any ill;
