| Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. | Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. |
| Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. | And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. |
|
| Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. | He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. |
| No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. | No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. |
| Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. | Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. |
| Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult. | A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. |
| Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. | He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. |
