¹² Hate is a cause of violent acts, but all errors are covered up by love.

⁸ And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:

⁹ He who keeps a sin covered is looking for love; but he who keeps on talking of a thing makes division between friends.

¹⁸ An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting.

²⁰ Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.

¹ What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?

²² An angry man is the cause of fighting, and a man given to wrath does much wrong.

⁴ Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

⁵ Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

⁶ It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;

⁷ Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.

²⁷ A good-for-nothing man is a designer of evil, and in his lips there is a burning fire.

²⁵ He who is ever desiring profit is a cause of fighting; but he who puts his faith in the Lord will be made fat.
