What does the Bible say about covering transgressions?

In Proverbs 17:9, it states, 'He that covereth a transgression seeketh love.' This suggests that to cover a transgression is not about deceit or dishonesty, but rather about refraining from gossiping or repeating the sins of others. Our Savior's blood, which establishes the new covenant, assures us that our iniquities are not remembered by God. Therefore, if the Lord no longer recalls our transgressions, we ought to follow His example by not bringing up the wrongs of our brethren. Instead, we can choose silence in light of God's grace and mercy.
