American Standard Version
"doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; "
— 1 Corinthians 13:5, American Standard Version
“Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;”
“doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;”
“It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful.”
“Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil:”
“Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;”
“Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;”
And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.
Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;
rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;
beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away.
