“4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
1 Corinthian 13:4-7 NIV
Simple Meaning
Love is an active commitment. It means setting aside selfishness and pride to protect, trust, and uplift the people around us. This passage reminds us that real love is defined by how we treat people. Love chooses kindness over jealousy, forgiveness over resentment, and chooses to endure through every challenge.
