- Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or
proud.
Love is never haughty or selfish or rude.
Love does not demand its own way.
Love is not irritable or touchy.
Love does not hold grudges and will hardly notice when others do it wrong.
Love is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out.
If you love someone, you will be loyal to them no matter what the cost.
You will always believe in them, always expect the best in them, and will always
stand your ground in defending them.
