Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
Love bears long with many things to preserve the Church's peace and unity. Patient endurance and gentleness are its first marks, but mark this: where envy reigns, where everyone strives to be first, love cannot exist at all. I set these fruits before you so you may see your own vices by contrast.
AI summary
Love bears evil and provocation without resentment or revenge, and it is kind, bountiful and courteous, seeking opportunities to do good. Where it reigns, a man will not envy his neighbor's gifts or estate but rejoice in them as if they were his own gain.

Commenting on 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
The one possessed of true love is slow to anger, not quick to resentment, ready to forgive. He is gentle and courteous to all, not morose or ill-natured, and he does not envy the temporal happiness of others, whether their wealth or the greater affection they receive.
