⁵ let your forbearance be known to all men; the Lord `is' near;

²² And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

²³ meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;

²⁴ and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

¹² Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,

¹ Let brotherly love remain;

² of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this unawares certain did entertain messengers;

³ be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as also yourselves being in the body;

¹³ no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.

⁵ in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;

⁶ your word always in grace -- with salt being seasoned -- to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.

⁷ All the things concerning me make known to you shall Tychicus -- the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and fellow-servant in the Lord --

¹ A soft answer turneth back fury, And a grievous word raiseth up anger.

²⁴ Sayings of pleasantness `are' a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.

⁹ `Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: True judgment judge ye, And kindness and mercy do one with another.

¹⁰ And widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, ye do not oppress, And the calamity of one another ye do not devise in your heart.

¹¹ And they refuse to attend, And they give a refractory shoulder, And their ears have made heavy against hearing.

¹⁰ therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

²⁰ verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'
