1 Corinthians 13:5

Compare all

3 And ^athough I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body¹ to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

4 ^aLove suffers long and is ^bkind; love ^cdoes not envy; love does not parade itself, is not¹ puffed up;

5 does not behave rudely, ^adoes not seek its own, is not provoked,¹ thinks no evil;

6 ^adoes not rejoice in iniquity, but ^brejoices in the truth;

7 ^abears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

9 ^aFor we know in part and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is¹ perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

1 Corinthians 13:5

I Corinthians 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly. Discourteously and in a way to shock good manners or morals. Seeketh not its own. Is unselfish and disinterested. See Romans 12:10. Is not easily provoked. Does not fly into a rage, but keeps the temper under control. Thinketh no evil. "Taketh not account of evil". The idea of the Revised Version is that love does not keep a record of evil rendered so as to return it.
