1 Peter 4:6-8
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
6 For this is why the good news (the Gospel) was preached [[a]in their lifetime] even to the dead, that though judged in fleshly bodies as men are, they might live in the spirit as God does.
7 But the end and culmination of all things has now come near; keep sound minded and self-restrained and alert therefore for [the practice of] prayer.
8 Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and [b]disregards the offenses of others].(A)
