- Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses. - Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.
- One who forgives an affront fosters friendship,
but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend. - No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
- Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. - Fools show their anger at once,
but the prudent ignore an insult. - No one who conceals transgressions will prosper,
but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?
