1 Corinthians 13:5

Read in context

1 Corinthians 13:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.

7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
