The Bible commands us to honour all men not because they are perfect, but because God has placed immense value on them—so much so that Christ died for them. (1 Peter 2:17)
The entire chapter of John 13 demonstrates practically what 1 Corinthians 13 specifies as the characteristics of love. What a God’s incident!
Romans 13:10 says “Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” if one loves his neighbor, he will not commit adultery with his neighbor’s spouse. If he loves his coworker, he will not lie to him. And if loves his enemy, he will not slander him. Love fulfills the law, because if we truly love every person because he is a person, we will not desire to hurt or violate him or her, thus never break the law. God established love as the impetus for obedience. love is primarily an active interest in the well-being of another person. Love acts for the benefit of others. So Christ sum med up the commandments ” Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matt. 22:37-39)
