1 Peter 3:8

So finally I conclude with this:

all of you be like-minded and harmonious (like music that is please to the ear), feeling and expressing mutual sympathy, support, and loyalty back and forth to each other; be fond of each other with a brotherly love and have a deep awareness of and sympathy for each others suffering; and have a humble opinion of yourselves and a deep sense of your own moral littleness apart from Christ.

1 Peter 4:7 & 8:

Since the conclusion and termination of all things is approaching, you should certainly therefore be of a sober and sound mind, self-controlled in your opinions and passions, being marked by prudence, modesty, and wise self-restraint so that you can be earnest in your prayers and worship.

And more important than anything else, make your highest priority in everything to hold yourselves to be constantly intentionally, purposefully, and fervently intense in your self-sacrificing love and benevolent affection among the whole lot of you, because self-sacrificing love and benevolent affection covers over and hinders the knowledge of an indefinite number of sins, offenses, errors, mistakes, and unmet expectations.
