Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth ...

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.

My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction: for whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.

...he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
