...many waters cannot quench love, nor will rivers overflow it. (song of solomon 8.7)
...love is the fulfillment of the law. (romans 13.10)
...love edifies. (1 corinthians 8.1)
...owe nothing to anyone except love. (romans 13.8)

"The incarnational witness across cultural barriers... demands... love motivated by love. Nothing less will suffice." (Bashir Massih, 1979)
