James 1:12• 12Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him. (James 1:12)
 The last four {qualities} show {loves} positive energy, which-the source of every kind thought-by the powerful spring of its divine nature, presumes good when it does not see it, and bears with evil when it sees it, covering it by long-suffering and patience; not bringing it to light, but burying it in its own depth-a depth which is unfathomable, because love never changes. (1 Corinthians 13 by J.N. Darby)
 Love "bears all things" The flesh can bear very little without showing its resentment. Love can bear all things, and oftentimes in silence. Love "believes all things." The flesh is ever suspicious. Love is unsuspecting and ready to believe good when there is no direct evidence to the contrary, even in the presence of much that might raise doubts. Love "hopeth all things." The flesh is ever ready to presume evil, and believe the worst. Love looks upon the good rather than the evil and hopes for the best in spite of much that might appear hopeless. Love "endureth all things." The flesh, assuming the worst, has no hope, and when hope is gone there is no power to endure. Love, hoping all things, strengthens its possessor to endure in the presence of opposition and discouragement. (1 Corinthians 13 by H. Smith)
