Passage 1 Corinthians 13:7:
3 -7 (Message Bible) – If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
This passage is not just meant for religious people, rather for everyone to practice in their association with others. They say fight fire with fire, that only makes a bigger fire. You can fight fire with love because it will always endure and not fail. Yes it can be hard sometimes, but don’t loose hope.

If you want the real biblical love,and not the wordly love, you’ve got to deal with the first commandment before the second.
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment. Matthew 22.
Thank you
