Ministry on This Verse

 The latter part of this verse is quoted in the New Testament. In 1 Peter 4:8. (Proverbs Ten by H.A. Ironside)
 Other’s faults, not my own, I am called upon to cover. Not by indifference to evil, but by faithfully, in love and grace, showing my brother his sin, and seeking to exercise his conscience in the presence of God, that confession may be made, and thus the sin be covered. Where love is lacking, it is a common practice to play the part of a talebearer, which only tends to add to the evil. (Proverbs Ten by H.A. Ironside)
 In Nathan’s dealing with David, a lovely exemplification of the love that covereth (1 Sam. 22:9-19; 2 Sam. 12:1-14). (Proverbs Ten by H.A. Ironside)
