1 Cor 13:4-7 ?

'Blessed is the one to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity' supplies the accounting idiom behind 'love takes no account of evil' (ou logizetai to kakon). Just as God's blessing rests on not-reckoning sin, Paul's love refuses to keep a ledger of wrongs; the logizomai/non-imputation link gives moderate verbal warrant.

Medium confidence
John 1:43-51 ?

'Blessed is the man... in whose spirit there is no deceit' offers the no-guile ideal behind 'in whom is no deceit' (v.47). Low and contested as a direct source but a genuine parallel to the guileless-Israelite commendation.
