Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth. 1 Corinthians 13:6.
Love “rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.” He whose heart is imbued with love is filled with sorrow at the errors and weaknesses of others; but when truth triumphs, when the cloud that darkened the fair fame of another is removed, or when sins are confessed and wrongs corrected, he rejoices.—Testimonies for the Church 5:169.
“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.” 1 Peter 1:22.
The Word of God—the truth—is the channel through which the Lord manifests His Spirit and power. Obedience to the Word produces fruit of the required quality—“unfeigned love of the brethren.” This love is heaven born, and leads to high motives and unselfish actions.—The Acts of the Apostles, 520.
“Love is never glad when others go wrong, love is gladdened by goodness, always slow to expose, always eager to believe the best.” 1 Corinthians 13:6, 7, Moffatt.

Thought for the Day
Christ became one flesh with us, in order that we might become one spirit with Him. It is by virtue of this union that we are to come forth from the grave,--not merely as a manifestation of the power of Christ, but because, through faith, His life has become ours. Those who see Christ in His true character, and receive Him into the heart, have everlasting life. It is through the Spirit that Christ dwells in us; and the Spirit of God, received into the heart by faith, is the beginning of the life eternal. Desire of Ages, p. 388
