1 Corinthians 13:4-8

MSG

NIV

4 Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head,
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
