Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. | Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered. |
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that counts is faith working through love. | For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. |

So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name. | Because Your favor is better than life, My lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. |
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God. | For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God. |
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing personal opinion. | A fool does not delight in understanding, But in revealing his own mind. |
It is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God. | The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God. |
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. | Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. |
