“And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.”
And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony — 'Above all these' (hyper panta) makes love supreme. 'Love' (agapē) is not sentiment but commitment. 'Binds everything together' (syndesmō) is bonding-agent metaphor: love unites virtue-community. 'In perfect harmony' (teleiotēs) shows completeness: love perfects the ensemble. Love is crowning virtue, cohesive force.
