Love – A Poem by the Apostle Paul

Love is patient,

Love is kind,

Love is not jealous,

Love is not boastful,

Love is not arrogant,

Love is not rude,

Love does not seek its own,

Love is not provoked,

Love keeps no record of wrongs,

Love does not rejoice in evil,

Love rejoices with the truth,

Love bears all things,

Love believes all things,

Love hopes all things,

Love endures all things,

Love never fails!

Paraphrase of 1Corinthians 13:4-8a
