And above all things: see the like expression, Jam_5:12, and on the same occasion, Col_3:14.
Have fervent charity; not only labour after charity diligently and carefully, but let it be fervent, intense, strong.
For charity shall cover the multitude of sins; partly by preventing anger, railings, revilings, contentions, that they break not out, and partly by repressing, concealing, pardoning them when they do break out, 1Co_13:7: see Jam_5:20.
