1 Corinthians 13:5

not . . . unseemly--is not uncourteous, or inattentive to civility and propriety.

thinketh no evil--imputeth not evil [ALFORD]; literally, "the evil" which actually is there (Proverbs 10:12; 1 Peter 4:8). Love makes allowances for the falls of others, and is ready to put on them a charitable construction. Love, so far from devising evil against another, excuses "the evil" which another inflicts on her [ESTIUS]; doth not meditate upon evil inflicted by another [BENGEL]; and in doubtful cases, takes the more charitable view [GROTIUS].
