What is everybody's definition of love? I was reading this part of the bible today, and it really is exactly what i think about having a mature relationship. I know a lot of you guys think the bible is rubbish, but have you seen a more accurate definition of what love is? Go ahead and post opinions and quotes here.
1 Corinthians 13:4-11
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
That's the end, but i like the next verse a lot too:
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
thanks for humoring me,
theBishop
