No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Everything is permissible—but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible—but not everything is constructive.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

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 does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

The man who says, “I know Him,” but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys His word, God's love is truly made complete in him.

We love because
He first loved us.
