"Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil. "
— 1 Corinthians 13:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;”
“doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; ”
“doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;”
“It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful.”
“Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil:”
“Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;”
“Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;”
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.
Charity is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed.
