1 Peter 4:8
Douay-Rheims
But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.
Clement of Rome
Love unites us to God. Love covers a multitude of sins. Love bears all things, is long-suffering in all things. There is nothing base, nothing arrogant in love. Love admits of no schisms: love gives rise to no seditions: love does all things in harmony. By love have all the elect of God been made perfect; without love nothing is well-pleasing to God.
