E. VALUES INTEGRATION

Explain this verse:

Corinthians 13: 4-8

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it This bible verse shows of what love is and
does not boast, it is not proud. It does not isn’t, or what love does and doesn’t.
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. It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, and always perseveres.”

Very good! In addition, this bible verse says that

love is patient, kind, rejoices in truth, bears up
under all problems, believes, hopes and
understands. Therefore, love should not be
envious, proud, boastful, rude, selfish, evil and
short-tempered.

I know that you are all too young for love. But
love doesn’t only pertain to relationships with
your opposite sex. But it could be the love to
your family, friends and of course for God.
