God let my compassionate affection be tolerant and kind


God let my compassionate affection be tolerant and kind. Make that my charity suffers long and would not be jealous. That she is kind and envies not, brags not itself, is not puffed up or not swells with arrogance. That I be a person possessing compassionate affection that reaches out. That I not behave unseemly and shall not continue to seek my own self-interest. That I not seek just self-concern, but seek rather the concerns of others. Let I not be easily provoked. That I think no evil, do not record harm and that I'll do not rejoice over injustice. Let me rejoice not in iniquity, but rejoice in the truth.

Let me bare all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things. Let charity or compassionate affection never fail.
