# 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 and Hope 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 states: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres" (NIV). This passage teaches that hope is an essential characteristic of genuine love—love "always hopes," meaning it maintains optimistic expectation and doesn't give up on people or situations. True Christian love persists with hopeful expectation even in difficult circumstances, refusing to become cynical or despairing.
