Chang Jung Art Award High School Calligraphy Competition Exhibition 1Corinthians 13:4-6

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

1 Corinthians 13:4-6

This passage is taken from the Christian Bible, specifically from the book of "1 Corinthians." It is a letter written by the apostle Paul to the believers in the city of Corinth, an important city in the Roman Empire. Although Paul was in a different city at the time, he heard of conflicts within the Corinthian church. With a heart of love for the church, he wrote this letter to encourage the believers to love one another. This passage is part of the content of the letter.

This passage is often referred to as the "Love Chapter," but the complete context of this passage includes the verses "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." These verses emphasize that love is not just a sentiment but also an enduring action. Jesus Christ brought the redemption of love, and believers are called to live a life of love. How to love? Let this passage on the nature of love be a beautiful guide.
