but this is not "love" – We sh'd [should]
rejoice in O. [others'] hap. [happiness] – success – honor –
of Even our Enemy &c. [etc.].

VIII "Beareth all things, believeth xx [all things],
hopeth all things, endureth all things."

Bears with evil treatment – conceals
imperfecs. [imperfections], wrongs, &c. [etc.] – Never publishes
a misdeed but for best, highest, ends.

"Believeths all things" – said of the conduct of
others – cannot mean literally – credulity
on all subjects. Disposition to put best
construction on all things.

"Hopeth" – all will end well – that
darkness will turn to light. "Love" will hold
to this hope till all poss. [possibility] is gone –.
