Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;

and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:

and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,

doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;

and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
