The reading changes at midnight Central Time, and it stays the same all day.
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Plain English
These words continue the sentence about love from the line before, and charity means love. Love "doth not behave itself unseemly," so it does not act rudely. It "seeketh not her own," is "not easily provoked," and "thinketh no evil," which means it does not insist on its own way, it is not quick to anger, and it does not keep a list of wrongs.
Devotional
Soup spills, and a sharp voice can make the mess twice as large. Love does not need to win the moment or store the accident for later. It can wipe the table without a lecture. That is part of what this verse is still saying about love.
