1 Corinthians 13:4-7

King James Version
​

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 is a famous passage in the Bible that describes the nature and characteristics of love. It is often used to express the ideal and highest form of love that Christians should have for God and for one another. The passage reads as follows:

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

There are many interpretations and applications of this passage, but here are some possible points to consider:

• The passage begins with “love” as the subject and the predicate of each sentence. This emphasizes that love is the essence and the goal of everything that follows.
• The passage lists 15 qualities or actions that define love in a positive way. Some of these qualities are common to other religions or philosophies, such as patience, kindness, honesty, trustworthiness, hopefulness, perseverance, etc. However, some of these qualities are unique to Christianity or have a special meaning in this context.

This is a beautiful verse on how to explain what love is.

In conjunction with You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. it teaches us how a husband should treat his wife.

However, you might notice in Ephisians 5, wives were not instructed to "love" their husbands, but instead, to "submit to" and "respect" their husbands. Why does it not say they should love each other?
I do not know how relevant that distinction is, but it is important to note, the Bible never explicitly taught us the modern mutual and equal love ideas we have in the subject of marriage.
