1 Peter 4:8. New International Version ... Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Peter writes that Christians should do this "above all." A follower of Christ must make demonstrating the love of Jesus to others his or her first priority.

Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. ... And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity ...

And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”

1 Peter 4:8 — The New International Version (NIV). 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

Peter emphasised the need for us all to have a deep, heartfelt and intense love for our Lord, and a similarly deep, impassioned, fervent love for one another.

Love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same attitude (for whoever suffers in the flesh has broken with sin).
