- Hatred stirs up strife,
But love covers all offenses. - Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
- Now no one lights a lamp and covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see the light.
- One who conceals an offense seeks love,
But one who repeats a matter separates close friends. - Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. - A fool’s anger is known at once,
But a prudent person conceals dishonor. - One who conceals his wrongdoings will not prosper,
But one who confesses and abandons them will find compassion.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, free of hypocrisy.
