1 If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.
2
And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.
3
If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4
Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated,
5
it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
6
it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
7
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8
Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.
9
For we know partially and we prophesy partially,
10
but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
11
When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
12
At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.
13
So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

No need to split hairs. I have heard it put this way: there are two emotions. One feels good and the other feels bad. Either can become habitual. The negative one leads to disease. If one habitually feels good about oneself, feeling bad about anything or anyone else will by contrast be shocking. The brain not knowing anything about time or about imagination reacts to shocks to its programs by making efforts to correct the situations. These we call symptoms. To love one's enemy means to eliminate negative emotions as soon as possible due to the harmfull effects of not doing so. The best way to do this is to visualize or imagine that the wanted state of mind already exists, enjoy the ensuing positive emotions or feelings and allow those to become habitual. The resistance disappears and health returns. Cheers.
