“And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.”
“Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.”
“And to all these virtues add love, which is the perfect bond.”
“But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection.”
“And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.”
“And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.”
where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:
and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.
And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
