InEssence

A redemptive community is patient,
A redemptive community is kind
and a redemptive community is not jealous;
A redemptive community does not brag
and a redemptive community is not arrogant,
A redemptive community does not act unbecomingly;
A redemptive community does not seek its own,
A redemptive community is not provoked,
A redemptive community does not take into account a wrong suffered,
A redemptive community does not rejoice in unrighteousness,
but a redemptive community rejoices with the truth;
A redemptive community bears all things,
A redemptive community believes all things,
A redemptive community hopes all things,
A redemptive community endures all things.
A redemptive community never "fails"

(1 Corinthians 13:4-8a)
