1 Corinthians 13:4
The action of love is now described.
Charity suffereth long. Love endures slights and wrongs
patiently and long, and returns a kindly spirit. It is "slow to anger"
(Psalms 103:8). Christ, "when he was reviled, reviled not again"
(1 Peter 2:23). "The fruit of the Spirit is long-suffering"
(Galatians 5:22). See also Romans 2:4 2Co 6:6.
Charity envieth not. How miserable is that envy which is made
unhappy by the good fortune of another. Cain is an example. Love
excludes it. A mother does not envy her child.
Vaunteth not itself. Does not ostentatiously boast of superiority,
not is it inflated.
