Charity 464 unites us to God ; 465 charity covers the multitude of sins: 466charity endures all things, is long-suffering in all things.
5 There is nothing base and sordid in charity ; charity lifts not itself up above others; admits of no divisions; is not seditious ; but does all things in peace and concord.
6 By charity were all the elect of God made perfect: Without it nothing is pleasing and acceptable in the sight of God.
7 Through charity did the Lord 467 join us unto himself; whilst for the love that he bore towards us, our Lord Jesus Christ gave his own blood for us, by the will of God ; his flesh for our flesh ; his soul, for our souls.
