and the greatest of these is L.O.V.E.
That just about says it all don’t you think?
When people respond in love to each other, they cover over the sins, or offenses, that would otherwise come between them.
The Book of Proverbs makes it clear that all of these sayings are exclusively the domain of the wise. They are intended to instruct us in the realities of life, the truth, and most importantly the fear of God.
Proverbs 10:12
12 Hatred stirs up strife,
But love covers all sins.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:4–7
8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
1 Peter 4:8
