Hatred stirs up dissension,
but love covers all transgressions.
Better a meal of vegetables where there is love
than a fattened ox where there is hatred.
But I say to you, love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you,
But if you fulfill the royal law as expressed in this scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears punishment has not been perfected in love.
