Paul:
According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.
1Cor 3:10
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
..
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
1Cor 13:4-7.12.
Peter
..according to His promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by Him without spot or blemish, and at peace. And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters.
2Peter 3:13-14
Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart..
1Pt 1:22
all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
