愛是恆久忍耐，又有恩慈，愛是不嫉妒，
愛是不自誇，不張狂，不作害羞的事，
不求自己的益處，不輕易發怒，
不計算人的惡，不喜歡不義，
只喜歡真理，凡事包容，
凡事相信，凡事盼望，
凡事忍耐，愛是永不止息。 

「哥林多前書第十三章四至八節」
 
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 
Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride; 
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 
Love’s ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil; 
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 
It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true; 
 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 
Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things. 
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 
Though the prophet’s word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.
