^{4 Ref} The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

^{5 Ref} doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

^{6 Ref} rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

^{7 Ref} all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

^{8 Ref} The love doth never fail; and whether `there be' prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

^{4 Ref} Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,

^{5 Ref} doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

^{6 Ref} doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

^{7 Ref} bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

^{8 Ref} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
