| | LNN&R's Love Lab : is not easily provoked (ou paroXYnetai) |
 | | If love is provoked at all; it then ceases to be love; and if it be not easily provoked, this grants, as almost all the commentators say, that in special cases it may be provoked; and this they instance in the case of Paul and Barnabas, Acts xv. |
 | | "Provoked," is "paroxunetai," the present passive of "paroxuno," to sharpen, provoke, or stir up, it only occurs here and Acts.17v16., where it says that Paul's spirit was stirred within him when he saw the city of Athens wholly given to idolatry. |
 | | There are times when it is a sin not to be angry, but a person who can't control their temper is no use in the service of God, for they can hurt and injure many people. |
