Love Hides the Multiplicity of Sin
Love is what stops sin and the effects of sin and the temptation to sin from spreading.
"What love does; it is. What love is; it does." Love does not "discover" or take notice of sin even when it knows they exist. Love is ignorant and small-townish and "a babe in evil" meaning it does not even try to understand evil. For trying to understand evil is to look for excuses for one's sins.
Gossip helps corrupt others and multiply sin. Why to we pay good money to bring scandal and gossip into our houses?
Love hides the multiplicity of sin by forgiveness. Forgiveness is the opposite of creating and this takes vitality away from sin. On the other hand withholding forgiveness nourishes sin and the continuation of sin is a new sin.
Sin finds an opportunity in the commandment and the prohibition. But, it is not as though the occasion caused the sin.
