- Hatred stirs up strife,
but love overlooks all offenses. - Above all, maintain the fervor of your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
- 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.
- One who forgives a misdeed fosters friendship,
but he who divulges it separates good friends. - Blessings are showered on the head of the righteous,
but sorrow will cover the face of the wicked. - A fool is quick to show his anger,
but a prudent man ignores an insult. - No one who conceals his transgressions will prosper,
but one who confesses and renounces them will obtain mercy.
And not only that, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we realize that suffering develops perseverance, and perseverance produces character, and character produces hope. Are you not aware that wrongdoers will never inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, extortioners, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.Next verse!With image
