1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NLT)

Love is: patient, kind, not jealous, not boastful, not proud, not rude, does not demand its own way, not irritable, keeps no record of being wronged, does not rejoice about injustice, rejoices whenever the truth wins out, never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, endures through every circumstance

Romans 15:1-7 (NLT)

We Build Others as We Grow

1We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves. 2We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. 3For even Christ didn't live to please himself.

Romans 15:1-7 (NLT)
