Charity suffereth long: and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.
I CORINTHIANS xiii. 4, 5.
Thinketh no evil. It seems to me that those three words, taken together, mean more than all others in this definition of Charity (which is only another name for Love) and, indeed, include all the others. I have often wondered why Paul did not begin and end his delineation with them.
