From the Christ Church CofE (VA) Primary School and Nursery, Ware
The three that are still present are love, hope, and faith. But love is the greatest of these. Love is compassionate and patient. It doesn't boast, it doesn't envy, and it isn't arrogant. It does not defame others, is not conceited, is not quickly enraged, and does not keep track of wrongdoings. Love rejoices with the truth rather than taking pleasure in wickedness. It constantly defends, always believes, always hopes, and constantly perseveres. And let us keep our eyes on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of faith, as we run the race that has been laid out for us with perseverance.
