Wisdom of love - Proverbs 10

"Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses."  - Proverbs 10:12


Where there is hatred, every thing stirs up strife. By bearing with each other, peace and harmony are preserved.  - Matthew Henry
True love seeks the highest good for another.  - John MacArthur
Love covereth all sins - i. e., First hides, does not expose, and then forgives and forgets all sins. - Albert Barnes
On the contrary, love conciliates; removes aggravations; puts the best construction on every thing; and pours water, not oil, upon the flame.  - Adam Clark
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.  - 1 Peter 4:8

Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends.  - Proverbs 17:9

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. - 1 Corinthians 13:7

...whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. - James 5:20
