- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5(6.) Doth not behave itself unseemly - , from , negative, and , figure, mien; love never acts out of its place or character; observes due decorum and good manners; is never rude, bearish, or brutish; and is ever willing to become all things to all men, that it may please them for their good to edification.

Love makes allowances for the falls of others, and is ready to put on them a charitable construction.
