Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitide of sins.
-1 Peter 4:8 NIV
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
-1 Peter 4:8 KJV
When I spotted different translations using “love” or “charity,” I was drawn to dig deeper.
The Greek word for both is “agapē.”
One commentary bridged the gap between the translations reaching back to “chariot” as a root for “charity”: …transporting of God’s love in man one to another.”
I have a strong feeling that there is only one Love in the world. Like handwritten letters, we are the vehicles by which Love is experienced.
