1 Corinthians 13:4
Love. . .is not puffed up.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
"Puffed Up" can mean arrogant, conceited, haughty. Surely, it would be almost impossible to love under these conditions? Remember Proverbs 16:18? "Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall." There-fore, put off any pride or arrogance that you may have, that you might put on love!
God Bless You!
