St. Paul lists the characteristics of love in 1 Cor. 13:4 - "Love is patient, love in kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its one interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
