sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving
wife has been sanctified through
her believing husband.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
NKJV—Love suffers long and is kind;
love does not envy; love does not parade
itself, is not puffed up; does not behave
rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked,
thinks no evil; does not rejoice in
iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears
all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things. Love never fails.
NIV—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.
Amp—Love endures long and is patient
and kind; love never is envious nor boils
over with jealousy; is not boastful or vainglorious,
does not display itself haughtily.
It is not conceited—arrogant and inflated
with pride; it is not rude (unmannerly),
and does not act unbecomingly. Love
[God’s love in us] does not insist on its
own rights or its own way, for it is not
self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or
resentful; it takes no account of the evil
done to it—pays no attention to a suffered
wrong. It does not rejoice at injustice and
unrighteousness, but rejoices when right
and truth prevail.
Love bears up under anything and
everything that comes, is ever ready to
believe the best of every person, its hopes
are fadeless under all circumstances and
it endures everything [without weakening].
Love never fails—never fades out or becomes
obsolete or comes to an end.
Weymouth—Love is forbearing and kind.
Love knows no jealousy. Love does not
brag; is not conceited. She is not unmannerly,
nor selfish, nor irritable, nor mindful
of wrongs. She does not rejoice in injustice,
but joyfully sides with the truth. She
can overlook faults. She is full of trust, full
of hope, full of endurance. Love never fails.
