*1.* “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” *2.* “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.” *3.* “Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” *4.* “And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.”
