• It is worthy of note that the qualities of divine love are almost entirely of a passive character. The first eight qualities pointed out by the Spirit are the expression of this renunciation of self. (“1 Corinthians 13” by J.N. Darby)

• (1) "Love has long patience." The flesh is ever impatient, but love can suffer long and wait God's time. Fleshly endurance is soon exhausted; love does not wear out. (2) Love "is kind." The flesh even if it waits, will often do so in a fretful and resentful spirit; but love, while waiting can retain a kindly spirit of consideration for others. (3) "Love is not emulous of others." The flesh ever seeks a place above others, and is jealous of favor or position bestowed on others rather than self. Love can delight in honors bestowed upon another without a thought of envy. (4) "Love is not insolent and rash." The flesh is aggressive, rashly pushing itself into prominence. Love is not self-assertive, but rather retiring and reticent. (5) Love "is not puffed up." The flesh is often vain and filled with its self-importance. Love takes the lowly place in service to others. (“1 Corinthians 13” by H. Smith)
