The first is gentleness;

avoid putting yourself before others
and you can become a leader among men.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud. It does not dishonor others,

but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
