A4. Faith, Hope, Love 信, 望, 爱

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast, it is not proud. 
It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs. 
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV, New International Version)

爱是恒久忍耐,又是仁慈;
爱是不嫉妒;
爱是不自夸、不自大;
不做不合宜的事,不求自己的益处,
不轻易动怒,不计算人的恶,
不为不义欢喜,而与真理同乐;
凡事包容,凡事相信,
凡事盼望,凡事忍耐。
爱是永不止息;1 哥林多前书13:4-8 (CSBS/CSB,中文标准译本)
