And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.

Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.

In addition to all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

Beyond all these things put on and wrap yourselves in [unselfish] love, which is the perfect bond of unity [for everything is bound together in agreement when each one seeks the best for others].

And to all these virtues add love, which is the perfect bond.
