THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT
"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have
loved you." John 15:12
Love is from the Greek "Agapao". This word does not
represent an emotional love, but rather a self-sacrificing,
obedient fulfilling of duty.
LOVE SUFFERETH LONG; [Love is very patient.]
AND IS KIND; [Love is understanding and tries to find a way to
be helpful.]
LOVE ENVIETH NOT; [Is never jealous of the gifts, talents, or
position of others.]
LOVE VAUNTETH NOT ITSELF, [Love makes no parade of
itself, nor is anxious to impress others.]
IS NOT PUFFED UP, [Is never arrogant or conceited.]
DOES NOT BEHAVE ITSELF UNSEEMLY, [Is never rude.]
SEEKETH NOT ITS OWN, [Never insists on having its own way,
is never self-seeking.]
IS NOT PROVOKED, [Is never irritable or touchy.]
TAKETH NOT ACCOUNT OF EVIL; [Is not resentful and takes
no notice of the wrong done to it.]
REJOICETH NOT IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, [Love finds no joy
in sin.]
BUT REJOICETH WITH THE TRUTH; [It finds great joy in
doing God's will.]
BEARETH ALL THINGS, [Love is slow to expose the faults in
others and finds a way to overlook them.]
BELIEVETH ALL THINGS, [Is always eager to believe the best
about others and trust them.]
HOPETH ALL THINGS, [Love is confident in God's
providence in all circumstances.]
ENDURETH ALL THINGS; [Accepts present
circumstances as being God's will."]
CAPS 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ASV; [Commentary]
Love is not something that we "feel" for another, but rather,
something that we "do" in ourselves. It is the very death of self.
