What are the characteristics of true love according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

True love is characterized by patience, kindness, humility, and a selfless nature, as detailed in 1 Corinthians 13.

The Apostle Paul describes love with a series of positive and negative attributes in 1 Corinthians 13. Love is patient and kind, does not envy or boast, and is not arrogant or rude. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. These characteristics highlight love's enduring and forgiving nature, emphasizing that true love seeks the welfare of others above self. Furthermore, love rejoices in truth rather than in wrongdoing, reflecting the essence of Christ's attitude toward humanity. Ultimately, love acts not just as an emotion but as a driving force that shapes a believer's interactions with others.
