¹² Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

⁸ And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

⁹ He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

¹⁸ A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

²⁰ Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

¹ From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

²² An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

⁴ Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

⁶ Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

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

²⁷ An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

²⁵ He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
