²⁶ "Be angry, and don't sin." Don't let the sun go down on your wrath,

²⁷ neither give place to the devil.

²⁸ Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

¹⁰ Pride only breeds quarrels, But with ones who take advice is wisdom.

¹² Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

¹⁹ So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

³ It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; But every fool will be quarreling.

¹ A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

²⁰ He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

²¹ For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

²² covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

²⁴ From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn't want anyone to know it, but he couldn't escape notice.

⁴ Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,

⁵ doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

⁶ doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

²⁹ He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who has a quick temper displays folly.

¹¹ A fool vents all of his anger, But a wise man brings himself under control.

¹⁶ A fool shows his annoyance the same day, But one who overlooks an insult is prudent.

¹² Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all wrongs.
