1 Peter 4:8
ח בְּרֹאשׁ וּבָרִאשׁוֹנָה אֶהֱבוּ אִישׁ אֶת רֵעֵהוּ אַהֲבָה עַזָּה, כִּי ׳עַל רֹב פְּשָׁעִים תְּכַסֶּה אַהֲבָה׳. (משלי י׳ יב׳//ישעיהו נה׳ ז׳)
1 Peter 4:8
8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. (KJV)
Proverbs 10:12
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: But love covereth all sins. (KJV)
Here in 1 Peter 4:8 Peter quotes from Proverbs 10:12 This verse emphasizes the power of love to forgive and overlook offenses. When we genuinely love others, we are more inclined to forgive and not hold their sins against them. While the Torah itself doesn’t use the exact phrase “love covers sins,” the principles of love, forgiveness, and compassion are deeply embedded in its teachings. For example, the concept of love your neighbor (Leviticus 19:18) The Torah emphasizes treating others with kindness, seeking reconciliation, and showing mercy. So, in essence, love indeed plays a significant role in covering and forgiving sins, regardless of the specific wording used. This is why the Torah has not passed away!
