⁹ He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends.

¹² Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.

⁸ above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

²⁸ A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

¹ Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
