1 Corinthians 13:7

1 Corinthians 13:7

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.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Beareth all things—without speaking of what it has to bear. The same Greek verb as in I Corinthians 9:12. It endures without divulging to the world personal distress. Literally said of holding fast like a watertight vessel; so the charitable man contains himself in silence from giving vent to what selfishness would prompt under personal hardship.

believeth all things—unsuspiciously believes all that is not palpably false, all that it can with a good conscience believe to the credit of another. Compare James 3:17, "easy to be entreated"; Greek, "easily persuaded."

hopeth—what is good of another, even when others have ceased to hope.

endureth—persecutions in a patient and loving spirit.
