Love is not evil. Love does not enjoy evil. Love is always good. Love is pure.

From Oxford Dictionaries:

Delight:

great pleasure: "the little girls squealed with delight" ·synonyms: pleasure · happiness · joy · glee · gladness · excitement · amusement

Evil:

profoundly immoral and malevolent: "his evil deeds" · synonyms: wicked · bad · wrong · immoral · sinful · foul · vile · dishonorable
profound immorality, wickedness, and depravity, especially when regarded as a supernatural force: "the world is stalked by relentless evil" · [more]synonyms: wickedness · bad · badness · wrongdoing · sin · ill · immortality · vice· iniquity · degeneracy · corruption · depravity · villainy · nefariousness · malevolence · devil

_________________________________________________________________

Love does not find enjoyment in bad things. It is not amused by bad things happening to others. It does take pleasure in wickedness. Evil is darkness and love is the light. Love repels bad things; love is not wrong.

Because love does not delight in evil.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Love is a weapon against wickedness. Love overcomes evil. It doesn't dwell in darkness. It doesn't find pleasure in bad, desire wrong, or feel glad about corruption. Love drowns out evil, wipes clean the muck of vile things. Love is good.
