Living well because life is short, sentence 4
Christians believe each day is a gift from God and that love is the greatest thing, as Paul wrote, «Faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love»; humanists say this life is the one we know, so we should make it count; both say live well now.
Who acts: Christians, day, love, Paul, greatest, humanists · What happens: believe, be, write, say, know, make · To what, where: gift, greatest thing, love, one, life · Speech: someone speaks here
