St. Paul, in his First Letter to the Corinthians, gives some qualities of love.

He says: Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, love I not

pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interest,
it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice
over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all
things, hopes all things, endures all things (Cor 13:4-7)

Some describes Christian love in the following words:

Christian love is silence when your words would hurt.
It is patience when your neighbors curt.
It is deafness when scandal flows.
It is thoughtfulness for anothers woes.
It is promptness when stern duty calls.
It is courage when misfortune falls.

Another person speaks of Christian love in this way:

Perfect love is
Slow to suspect quick to trust
Slow to condemn quick to justify
Slow to offend quick to defend
Slow to expose quick to shield
Slow to reprimand quick to forbear
Slow to provoke quick to conciliate
Slow to hinder quick to help
Slow to resent quick to forgive.
