LOVE 1 Peter 4:7-8

The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

The end of all things is near
Romans 13:11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

Therefore be alert and of sober mind
1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
1 Thessalonians 5:6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.

so that you may pray
1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

Above all, love each other deeply
1 Peter 1:22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.

because love covers over a multitude of sins
Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.
James 5:20 ... remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
