1 Corinthians 13:4
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.”
“Kasih itu sabar; kasih itu murah hati …” memulai gambaran Paulus tentang kasih sebagai tindakan dan karakter, bukan sekadar perasaan. Kasih sejati ditandai oleh cara ia memperlakukan orang lain.

Paul describes love with verbs and traits, not emotions. Love “is patient” and “is kind” — it does things and refuses others (it “does not envy, does not boast, is not proud”).
Written to a divided church, it confronts self-centeredness with a picture of love that serves. It is most famously read at weddings, but Paul aimed it at everyday Christian community.
Is 1 Corinthians 13 only about romantic love?
No. Paul wrote it about love within the church. It applies to marriage too, but its first setting is how Christians treat one another.
