Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, |
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; |
Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, |
|
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. |
Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. |
Love meekly and patiently bears ill treatment from others. Love is kind, gentle, benign, pervading and penetrating the whole nature, mellowing all which would have been harsh and austere; is not envious. Love does not brag, nor does it show itself off, is not ostentatious, |
|
This love of which I speak is slow to lose patience – it looks for a way of being constructive. It is not possessive: it is neither anxious to impress nor does it cherish inflated ideas of its own importance. |
Love is so patient and so kind; love never boils with jealousy; it never boasts, is never puffed with pride; |
Charity 26 suffereth long, 3114 and is kind; 5541 charity 26 envieth 2206 not; 3756 charity 26 vaunteth not 3756 itself, 4068 is not 3756 puffed up, 5448 |
