1 Corinthians 134

1 Corinthians 13:4 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, often cited for its description of the nature of love. The verse reads: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." This passage is part of a larger discourse on spiritual gifts and the superiority of love, delivered by the Apostle Paul to the Christian community in Corinth. The Greek word used for "love" here is agape, which signifies a selfless, sacrificial love. In Hebrew, this verse can be translated as התאהבת סבלנית, התאהבת חסידית. היא לא תתאוה, היא לא תתגאה, היא לא תהיה גאווה. The verse is often translated into other languages as well, such as L'amour est patient, l'amour est bon. Il n'est pas envieux, il ne se vante pas, il n'est pas orgueilleux in French, and La caridad es sufrida, es benigna; la caridad no tiene envidia; la caridad no es jactanciosa, no se envanece in Spanish. The context of this verse is Paul's emphasis on the importance of love in the Christian life, arguing that without love, even the most impressive spiritual gifts are meaningless.
