1 CORINTHIANS 13 SERIES - Verse 6

 Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
 
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Vs.6
 
The matter of its joy and pleasure is here suggested: 
 
 
1. Negatively: It rejoiceth not in iniquity. 
It thinks not evil of any, without very clear proof. It wishes ill to none, much less will it hurt or wrong any, and least of all make this matter of its delight, rejoice in doing harm and mischief. 
Nor will it rejoice at the faults and failings of others, and triumph over them, either out of pride or ill-will, because it will set off its own excellences or gratify its spite.
 
2. Affirmatively: It rejoiceth in the truth, is glad of the success of the gospel and rejoices to see men moulded into an evangelical temper by it, and made good. 
 
Those who are filled with the love of God rejoice in the truth.
