the world and all who live in it. - Love is patient;
love is charitable.

neither does it brood over setbacks. - The blessing of the Lord is what brings wealth,

It is rash to pledge a sacred gift,
or to make a vow and then have second thoughts.Live in harmony with one another. Do not consider yourself to be better than others, but associate with the lowly, and never be conceited. The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
a warrior and a savior.
He will rejoice over you with gladness
and renew you through his love.
He will exult over you with shouts of joy.Next verse!With image
