Seeking Revival: Restraining Loveless Irritability - a podcast by Quidnessett Baptist Church

We return to our study of the love chapter in the New Testament – 1 Corinthians 13 – and landing on the eighth quality in the love of God. This quality is to control, or constrain, the lives of His children in relationships with one another – Love is not irritable.



Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;1 Corinthians 13:4-5
