The document contains two versions of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 describing the qualities of love. The first is the New International Version in English, while the second is a Cebuano translation. It describes how love is patient, kind, does not envy or boast, is not proud or rude, does not seek its own interests or get angry. Love does not enjoy evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres, and will never fail. Prophecies and tongues may cease but love will remain.

Counseling made by George Crane
Newspaper columnist and minister
George Crane tells of a wife who came
into his office full of hatred toward her
husband. "I do not only want to get rid of
him, I want to get even. Before I divorce
him, I want to hurt him as much as he has
me."

19. Dr. Crane suggested an ingenious plan
"Go home and act as if you really love your
husband. Tell him how much he means to
you. Praise him for every decent trait. Go out
of your way to be as kind, considerate, and
generous as possible. Spare no efforts to
please him, to enjoy him. Make him believe
you love him. After you've convinced him of
your undying love and that you cannot live
without him, then drop the bomb.

20. Tell him that you're getting a divorce. That
will really hurt him." With revenge in her
eyes, she smiled and exclaimed,
"Beautiful, beautiful. Will he ever be
surprised!" And she did it with enthusiasm.
Acting "as if." For two months she showed
love, kindness, listening, giving,
reinforcing, sharing. When she didn't
return, Crane called. "Are you ready now
to go through with the divorce?"

21. "Divorce?" she exclaimed.
"Never! I discovered I really
do love him." Her actions had
changed her feelings. Motion
resulted in emotion. The
ability to love is established
not so much by fervent
promise as often repeated
