Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all sins.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is
than a fatted calf with hatred.
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
If you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. Whoever fears is not perfect in love.
