Oh, I agree. We dare not not be forgiving, kind, humble, etc. It's all in Christ's likeness, and that's what we're after.

Thanks. I'm not over the edge—just trying to understand. By my study of Scripture, I define love as making a willful choice to selflessly and sacrificially serve others for their benefit. It's not the accumulation of virtues, but it is the necessary one to make the others effective. In other words, forgiveness without love is just words. Kindness without love is just patronizing. Not holding a grudge, without love, is just building pressure inside of you. Love is not the total sum of these virtues, it is instead the crowning pinnacle of them.

I'm trying to understand your question. Are you speaking tongue-in-cheek when you ask "What virtues are they talking about?"—since you put a winky smile emoji. You must be being facetious, right?

> what will you consider to be all the virtues to make love perfect ?

The virtues don't make love perfect. Love is the one that ties them together in perfect harmony. Just as 1 Cor. 13.1-3 say, without love all this other good stuff isn't worth much.
