TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:8 By its nature, love overlooks sins committed against us by others (see Prov 10:12; Matt 18:21-22; 1 Cor 13:4-7). Peter might also mean that our attitude of love, because it displays our relationship with Christ, covers our own sins and causes them to be forgiven (see Luke 7:47).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὅτι ἀγάπη καλύψει πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν

because love (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πρὸ πάντων τὴν εἰς ἑαυτοὺς ἀγάπην ἐκτενῆ ἔχοντες ὅτι ἀγάπη καλύπτει πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν)

Peter describes love as if it were a person who could cover something up, and he describes sins as if they were objects that could be covered up. This clause, covers up, means that people who love others will forgive them for the sins that they commit against them. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use similes. Alternate translation: [for those who love forgive the many sins committed against them by others]
