1 Peter 4:8 GNB
“Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others]. [Prov. 10:12.]”
1 Peter 4:8 AMP (“Hatred stirs up contentions, but love covers all transgressions.”
Proverbs 10:12 AMP)
“Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.”
1 Peter 4:8 NLT
It really doesn't matter which translation you use, love is the answer. Does this say that love hides the truth? Not at all. It says that love forgives. Love doesn't remember the bad stuff.
And just how important is this forgiving and forgetting kind of love anyway? We should live as if our lives depend on it. After all, Jesus gave His very life because of love.
Do you know Him? Really know Him? Would you like to?
