Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1Corinthians 13: 4-7)

Love is makrothurmeo which includes patience, but is also to perservere and have courage.

Love is chresteuomai which is much more than kind. It is also to be useful, pleasant, virtuous.

Love is not zeloo: heated, envious or angry. Love does not assert itself. Love does not make a mountain out of a molehill. Love avoids indecent or provocative action.

Love does not demand -zeteo - its own way. Love is not scornful, irritable, or angry. Love does not keep count of wrongs done to it.

Love does not celebrate adika: injustice between peoples or confusion in an individual. Love does celebrate the discovery of subtle and previously unrecognized truths.

Love bears, protects, and covers all. Love is persuaded, has confidence, and trusts. Love waits expectantly and joyfully.
