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. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
— Holy Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
爱是恒久忍耐,又有恩慈;爱是不嫉妒,爱是不自夸,不张狂,不做害羞的事,不求自己的益处,不轻易发怒,不计算人的恶;凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐。爱是永不止息。
——《圣经:哥林多前书》13章4-7节
Boast /boʊst/:自夸
Self-seeking:追求自己的利益
Rejoice /rɪ'dʒɔɪs/:高兴,庆祝
Persevere /,pɝsə'vɪr/:坚持
很多人在婚礼上引用这段话,即使他们可能不是基督徒。
