1 Peter 4:8
Douay-Rheims
But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.
Tertullian
" For, strictly speaking, there cannot any longer be reckoned ought against the martyrs, by whom in the baptism (of blood) life itself is laid down. Thus, "love covers the multitude of sins; " and loving God, to wit, with all its strength (by which in the endurance of martyrdom it maintains the fight), with all its life (which it lays down for God), it makes of man a martyr.
