1 Peter 4:8

Love for othersForgivenessForgiving othersSin

6 That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.

Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.

10 As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.
