- Hatred stirs up strife,
but love overlooks all offenses. - A fool is quick to show his anger,
but a prudent man ignores an insult. - Blessings are showered on the head of the righteous,
but sorrow will cover the face of the wicked. - One who forgives a misdeed fosters friendship,
but he who divulges it separates good friends. - No one who conceals his transgressions will prosper,
but one who confesses and renounces them will obtain mercy. - No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a pot or places it under a bed. Rather he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.
- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and barren, and darkness covered the abyss while the Spirit of God hovered over the waters.
And where a single man can be overcome,
two together will be able to resist.
A cord with three strands is not easily broken. Love is patient;
love is charitable.
Love is not envious;
it does not have an inflated opinion of itself;
it is not filled with its own importance.
Love is never rude;
it does not seek its own advantage.
It is not prone to anger;
neither does it brood over setbacks.Next verse!With image
