Hatred stirs up conflict,
but love covers over all wrongs.
Better a dish of vegetables with love
than a fattened calf with hatred.
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself,’ you are doing right.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
