How we are to treat each other – Love

WITH LOVE

If you want to treat people the right way, in a Godly manner, we are to “love one another” as he commanded in 1 John 3:23.

1 John 3:23 “And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

With this verse in mind, 1 Co 13:3-6 becomes very important because it tells us how “love” behaves:

1 Co 13:4 “Love sufferers long, is kind, love envieth not, love vaunteth (boasteth/braggeth) not.”

1 Co 13:5 “Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not “easily” provoked, thinketh no evil.”

1 Co 13:6 “Rejoiceth not in iniquity (doing contrary to right as done to others), but…”

How “Love” behaves:

1. Suffers long
2. Is kind
3. Envieth not
4. Vaunteth itself or boasteth not
5. Does not behave itself unseemly
6. Seeketh not her own
7. Is not provoked (the word “easily” does not exist in the hebrew language)
8. Thinketh no evil
9. Rejoiceth not in doing contrary to what is right to others

This is how “Godly Love” behaves itself. Therefore, if you want to treat people right, in a Godly manner… here is a blue print. It’s also important to note, the number 9 represents spiritual completion.. this is the spiritual completion of how love behaves.
