If we do have the perfect love of GOD then we will work no evil to our neighbor. If we are able to love our neighbors at all times and most certainly at the most difficult times, then we have fulfilled the law of Christ Jesus. There is not an old testament Law that doesn't teach the same, nor is there a teaching of Christ Jesus that does not teach this.
Loving your neighbor. Does that mean to turn a blind eye to the sins in them because you want others to turn a blind eye to your sins as well? Would not this keep them and yourself in darkness?
Personally, I want my sins exposed, because once they are exposed and I am able to acknowledge them I can then seek my Fathers mercy and forgiveness by turning from my own evil ways to HIS ways.
1 Corinthians 13:4-6 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
Nothing that Paul writes above is inconsistent with old testament and new testament gospel guidance.
The word of GOD in the Old testament and the dwelling of that light here on earth through Christ Jesus we can claim as our light if we choose to dwell within it.
John 3:20-21 "Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
It has been done through GOD because HE wants us all to turn from evil to the light of HIS truth. HE is exceedingly patient with us and PRAISE HIM! HE is unfailing in HIS mercy and forgiveness, which is the true light. HE wants us to do that, which HE does, HE wants us to be HIS LIGHT in this dark world.
