“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.”
1 Peter 4:8
Kiva

“When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.”
Matthew 6:5
“Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
Matthew 7:1–5
“Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
John 7:24
“For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God...”
1 Peter 4:17a
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
Matthew 5:43–48
“...For He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”
Luke 6: 35c-36
​“Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.”
1 Corinthians 13:4–8
“Let love be without hypocrisy.”
Romans 12:9 (NKJ)
“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions.”
Proverbs 10:12
