What is unselfishness like? Find out a good description of an unselfish life in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. TLB. “Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.”

Jesus is the best example of an unselfish life. He has told us to follow his example. Look it up in Ephesians 5:2, TLB. “Be full of love for others, following the example of Christ…”
