The Hebrew interpretation means "sullen." The Latin there in 'sentir' is feeling. It conveys a re-feeling, going over it again. It connotes bitterness. Love has no bitterness, because it doesn't play the wrong acts over and over again (it keeps no record of wrongs- same verse). Love doesn't use things against the other person. It doesn't think badly of the other, another reading of verse 5 says it "thinks no evil." If we don't think bad thoughts, we don't get bitter, and we have no resentment. Check your hearts and see what you find, and remove what shouldn't be there and replace it with what should - LOVE.
