doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

Love bears evil and provocation without resentment or revenge, and it is kind, bountiful and courteous, seeking opportunities to do good. Where it reigns, a man will not envy his neighbor's gifts or estate but rejoice in them as if they were his own gain.

Commenting on 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

John Calvin Reformed

5. Doth not behave itself unseemly Erasmus renders it “Is not disdainful;” but as he quotes no author in support of this interpretation, I have preferred to retain its proper and usual signification. I explain it, however, in this way — that love does not exult in a foolish ostentation, or does not bluster, but observes moderation and propriety.

Albert Barnes Presbyterian

Verse 5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, ουκασχημονει. This word occurs in . . It means, to conduct improperly, or disgracefully, or in a manner to deserve reproach. Love seeks that which is proper or becoming in the circumstances and relations of life in which we are placed.
