I like most of us are familiar with the Love Chapter (1 Corinthians 13). We’re going to look at this passage, but from a new perspective. I love looking up the definitions of words. For every adjective in the sections, I looked up the definition of that word. When I did it, I really enjoyed it. It brings the text to life in a whole new way.
Love is patient
• Able to put up with pain, trouble, delay or foredoom without complaining.
Love is kind.
• Always ready to help others and do good; friendly, gentle, generous, or sympathetic. To show kindness.
-The condition or habit of being kind.
It does not envy
• A feeling of jealousy or dislike toward someone who has what one would like to have.
it does not boast
• To talk about oneself or accomplishments with too much pride and pleasure; to brag.
it is not proud
• Thinking too highly of oneself; conceited or haughty. To be self forced.
5It is not rude
• Without respect for others; not polite. Rough or crude.
it is not self-seeking
• To find or search for something valuable to claim for one’s self.
it is not easily angered
• To be upset or to lose one’s temper.
it keeps no record of wrongs
6Love does not delight in evil
• Does not give great pleasure or rejoice or become joyful in wrong or shameful acts.
but rejoices with the truth.
• To be glad or be delighted of what is fact or has the quality of being true, honest and real. What is true; the facts.
7It always
• At all times; at every moment. Forever.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
