1 Peter 4:8
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Peter urges believers to love each other deeply because love covers a multitude of sins.
Fervent, earnest love among believers creates an atmosphere where offenses can be forgiven rather than harbored. Love does not ignore sin but chooses forgiveness over condemnation. This covering is not about hiding wrongdoing but extending grace that promotes healing and reconciliation.
