«L'amore è paziente, è benevolo…» apre la descrizione che Paolo fa dell'amore come azione e carattere, non come semplice sentimento. L'amore vero si vede da come tratta gli altri.

What it means

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.

Common questions
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.
