⁸ above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

⁹ He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends.

¹⁸ A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

²⁰ let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

²² An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.

⁴ Love suffereth long, `and' is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;

⁶ rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;

⁷ beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

²⁷ A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.

²⁵ He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.
