Question 1

What are the characteristics of love?

Charity suffereth long,

charity envieth not; 
charity vaunteth not itself, 
is not puffed up, 

Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own,

but rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things,
believeth all things,
hopeth all things,
endureth all things.
