Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins.
Finally, all of you, be of one mind, sympathetic, loving toward one another, compassionate, humble.

Since you have purified yourselves by obedience to the truth for sincere mutual love, love one another intensely from a [pure] heart.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.
