Is It Love?

^{When in doubt as to whether an act is done out of love, this is  the perfect yardstick.}
 

^{I Corinthians 13:1-7}

 

^{Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.}

 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

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.
