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

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.

²⁸ A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

¹ Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
