LOVE NEVER FAILS in Fuschia

LOVE is patient, love is kind.
LOVE does not envy,
is not boastful, is not conceited,

does not act improperly,
is not selfish, is not provoked,
and does not keep a record of wrongs.

LOVE finds no joy in unrighteousness
but rejoices in the truth.

It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends.
LOVE NEVER FAILS.

Now these three remain:
faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is LOVE.

Love never fails -- front...

Lover never fails -- back...

If I speak human or angelic languages but do not have love,
I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 
If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries
and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains
but do not have love, I am nothing.
And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor,
and if I give my body in order to boast 
but do not have love, I gain nothing.
(1 Corinthians 13:1-3, HCSB)
