‏ 1 Corinthians 13:6

Rejoiceth not in unrighteousness ( ου χαιρε ). See Ro 1:32 for this depth of degradation. There are people as low as that whose real joy is in the triumph of evil.

But rejoiceth with the truth ( συνχαιρε δε τη αληθεια ). Associative instrumental case after συν- in composition. Truth personified as opposed to unrighteousness (2Th 2:12; Ro 2:8). Love is on the side of the angels. Paul returns here to the positive side of the picture (verse 4) after the remarkable negatives.
