Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense, and it is not resentful.

Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.

These words from 1 Corinthians are a timeless reminder of love’s gentle strength. They invite us to live with patience, to rejoice in truth, and to carry hope—even when it’s hard. Paul reminds us that true love endures all things—it shines quietly, humbly, like a steady light.
