1 Corinthians 13:4

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Ver. 4. And is kind ] χρηστευεται , or, is easy to be made use of, ready to any good office. Charity is no churl.

Vaunteth not itself ] With the scorn of others. Arrianus saith, that he is περπερος , that blameth others and is restless in himself. Such a one was Timon of old and Laurentius Valla of late.

Is not puffed up ] Hence charity is portrayed as a naked child with a merry countenance, covered in a cloud, with a bloody heart in the right hand, giving honey to a bee without wings.
