Love is not Easily Provoked
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Charity suffers long, and is kind; charity envies not; charity braggs not itself, is not puffed up,…


I. THE SELF-COMMAND OF LOVE. Under passion it is —

1. Cool, not passionate.

2. Calm, not stolid.

3. Patient, not peevish.

4. Serious, not sarcastic.

5. Forgiving, not resentful.

II. THE SECRET OF ITS POWER — humility, enlightenment, pity for the offender, steadfast reliance on God.

(J. Lyth, D.D.)
