<p>13:6 <i>Rejoices not in unrighteousness but rejoices with the truth- </i>What Paul is advocating is a conscious outgiving of ourselves to love. Not just being a nice enough person, a reasonable neighbour, partner, parent, a &quot;top bloke&quot;, real decent guy. But a love which is actually beyond even that. A love modelled on God's love, and the love of Him who loved us and gave Himself for us crucifixion. Paul's poem personifies love as a person- love, e.g., &quot;rejoices with the truth&quot;, hopes and endures. We too are to 'be' love. Not just occasionally, not just in ways which we are accustomed to, which are convenient to us, or are part of our background culture such as occasional hospitality to strangers. &quot;Love is...&quot;, and we are 'to be' love, as if our very name and soul and heart is '<i>agape</i>'. Love is not an option- it's to be the vital essence of 'us'.</p><p>Another possibility here is that &quot;unrighteousness&quot; is being put for 'punishment for unrighteousness'. We will not rejoice in the punishment of the wicked personally known to us, just as God likewise takes no pleasure in it (Ez. 18:32; 33:11). But we will rejoice with &quot;the truth&quot;, the just judgment of God which glorifies His Name.</p>
