Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
LOVE DOES NOT DISHONOR OTHERS!
To understand what dishonor is, it's important to first understand what honor is:
Honor is high respect, esteem, It is to fulfill an obligation or keep a promise or agreement.
To dishonor is to bring shame or disgrace to fail to observe an agreement.
In America, we do not live in a culture of honor like perhaps Japan or other countries do where honor is the most important consideration. Maybe, thinking of a knight from long ago would bring the full picture into understanding.
As we walk in love with others, we keep our word and show respect.
