and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. - Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him:
fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. - He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding:
but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. - With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.

- For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.Next verse!With image
