- 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.
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
