True Christian love grows deeper through increasing knowledge and discernment.
Paul prays that love would abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight. Love without knowledge can be misguided or enabling. Love combined with spiritual discernment becomes truly effective, knowing how to help others, when to confront, and when to show mercy.
