Love covers all.

The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: (1 Peter 4:7-10 ESV)

Love is always the answer covering a multitude of sins as it is put here in first Peter. Let our spirit be convicted to love first even when we are persecuted. To love those who don’t love us back is to glorify God choosing his ways over our flesh-full get even desires. Let our faith be tested in this to love one another always.
