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 the truth; it is always ready to excuse,
to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.
Love does not come to an end.
-- 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 ( Jerusalem Bible )
