Go after a life of Love as if your life depended on it, because it does. - 1 Corinthians 14:1 (The Message)
"Eagerly pursue and seek to acquire [this] love [make it your aim, your great quest],,,," (1 Corinthians 14:1 Amplified Bible, )
1 Cor 13:4-8 New Spirit-Filled Life Bible
“Love suffers long, having patience with imperfect people.
Love is kind, active in doing good. Love does not envy; since it is non-possessive and non-competitive, it actually wants other people to get ahead. Hence it does not parade itself. Love has a self-effacing quality; it is not ostentatious (indulging in vain and pretentious display).
Love is not puffed up, treating others arrogantly; it does not behave rudely, but displays good manners and courtesy.
Love does not seek its own, insisting on its own rights and demanding precedence; rather, it is unselfish.
Love is not provoked; it is not irritable or touchy, rough or hostile, but is graceful under pressure.
Love thinks no evil; it does not keep an account of wrongs done to it; instead, it erases resentments. Love does not rejoice in iniquity, finding satisfaction in the shortcomings of others and spreading an evil report; rather, it rejoices in the truth, aggressively advertising the good. Love bears all things, defending and holding other people up. Love believes the best about others, credits them with good intentions, and is not suspicious. Love hopes all things, never giving up on people, but affirming their future. Love endures all things, persevering and remaining loyal to the end.
Love never fails.”
