greatest of these

Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous;
Love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish;
It does not take offense, and is not resentful
Love takes no pleasure in other people's sin but delights in the truth;
it is always ready to excuse, to trust

... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

(1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13)
