² to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.

²⁴ And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,

²⁵ in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,

³ no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money;

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

¹ Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

² with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

¹² Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:

¹⁹ Ye know `this', my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

²⁰ for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

¹⁴ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all.

¹⁵ See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.

¹¹ Women in like manner `must be' grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

¹¹ Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

¹ Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

¹⁷ Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

¹⁸ Servants, `be' in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

⁸ Finally, `be' ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:

¹⁰ For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:

¹⁰ So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²⁴ It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

³⁶ Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy gentleness hath made me great.

¹¹ An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

¹⁹ A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

¹¹ He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, `and' will gently lead those that have their young.

⁵ And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he was high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of thy people.

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁹ For though I was free from all `men,' I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.

¹ Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:

²⁰ For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means `there should be' strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;

⁵ Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

⁷ But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:

⁴ wherein they think strange that ye run not with `them' into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of `of':

¹⁰ but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities:

⁸ Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at dignities.

¹⁰ But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.

¹⁹ A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty; For if thou deliver `him', thou must do it yet again.
