"For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father."

And if I give away all my possessions to feed others, and if I surrender my body so that I may glory, but do not have love, it does me no good."

"Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered.
