1 Peter 4:8

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

NLT:  Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love.  But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.  The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

NLT:  Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear.  If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.

Revelation 2:4

“Yet I hold this against you:  You have forsaken your first love.”

NLT:  “But I have this complaint against you.  You don’t love me or each other as you did at first!”
