But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

Above all keep your love for one another fervent, because love covers a multitude of sins.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died.
