When Paul and Timothy came to meet the Philippi they offered up this Greeting.
Philippians 1:1-11
I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you, always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy, for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace.For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment; so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
You'll Notice that Peter stresses the importance of both love and knowledge in the KJV it says "I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent;"
Love must be the guiding force in our life.
