The "Scoreless Game" of Love
"Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs." (Proverbs 10:12)
"The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:7-8)
"Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times [Or seventy times seven].'" (Matthew 18:21-22)
