⁹ He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

³⁴ A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

⁹ As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

¹¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

¹² This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

¹³ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

⁸ And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
