Love
Truth without love is brutality. Love without truth is hypocrisy (Mike Lee, former pastor)
Some apologists revere revealed truth and may offend others by the bold way they express it. The Bible teaches us to “speak the truth in love,” but at the same time, we should be careful of going to the extreme of being so gracious and loving that we water down truth in order not to offend someone. Jesus set the example when he spoke the truth with grace.
Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ—the Son of the Father—will continue to be with us who live in truth and love (2 John 1:3).
