"Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated. "
— 1 Corinthians 13:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,”
“Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, ”
“Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,”
“Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up.”
“Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up,”
“Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;”
“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,”
If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal.
And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing.
And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing.
Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated.
Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil.
Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
Charity suffers all, believes all, hopes all, endures all.
