1 Corinthians 13:4–7; 14:1a (NLT)
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
14 Let love be your highest goal! But you should also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives—especially the ability to prophesy.
