1 Corinthians 13:4

Love, The More Excellent Way

³ And though I give out all my goods to feed the poor, and though I deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, I am profited nothing. ⁴ Charity has patience, is kind; charity is not envious, is not vain, is not puffed up; ⁵ does not behave indecently, does not seek her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil.

Slow to Anger

Charity Envieth Not
