1 Corinthians 13:6
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
There are so many possible lessons here it would take pages to cover them, so we will just sum up a few.
Love is honest, especially with other people. We should deal with people in all of our dealings honestly. Tell the truth; don’t lie; don’t flatter to get your way.
Love shares the truth of the Gospel. If we don’t share with our fellow humans salvation through Jesus Christ, we are basically not being truthful with them about their eternity.
Love shares the truth of scripture. We have to teach what the Bible teaches in love but also with truth. We do not show love to anybody by watering down the truths the Bible teaches.

A number of years ago, I sold Real Estate. One of my broker’s favorite things to say to clients was:
“I may not tell you want you want to hear, but I will tell you what you need to hear.”
Turns out that applies to the spiritual life as well huh?

I agree, although I didn’t really get that for some years, but looking back it makes sense. Thanks brother Jim
