I heard a very smart person talk about this verse. he said that the words meant more than I might realize. the original words were interesting because when it says “love does not delight IN evil…” the “in” refered to something it had no part of. the evil and the love were like oil and water, they did not mix and they had absolutely nothing to do with each other. when Paul wrote “love… rejoices WITH the truth” he was saying that the love and the truth were part of each other, the “with” was like family, you can rejoice WITH a family as a part of it - whether it is your biological family or an adopted one (like the Church or your best friends). here’s the point: as a Christian you are a part of The Truth, and you are not a part of evil. don’t be glad about and buddy-buddy with something that is opposite and outside of you, like evil. REJOICE with the truth, be glad when someone is blessed or shown mercy. REJOICE with the truth when someone comes to know Christ. REJOICE with the truth when something good happens to someone.
