⁵⁰ The salt `is' good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season `it'? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.'

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

¹⁸ If possible -- so far as in you -- with all men being in peace;

¹¹ Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;

¹³ `Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down by men.

¹⁴ peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,

⁶ Eaten is an insipid thing without salt? Is there sense in the drivel of dreams?

³⁴ `The salt `is' good, but if the salt doth become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned?

³⁵ neither for land nor for manure is it fit -- they cast it without. He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.'

²⁹ Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;

¹³ and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

⁸ And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous,

¹⁴ and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;

¹⁵ this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,

¹⁶ for where zeal and rivalry `are', there is insurrection and every evil matter;

¹⁷ and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: --

¹⁸ and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.

²⁰ for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;

²² and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;

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

¹ A Song of the Ascents, by David. Lo, how good and how pleasant The dwelling of brethren -- even together!

³⁴ and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;

³⁴ `A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

³⁵ in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

¹⁷ `These things I command you, that ye love one another;

¹⁸ if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;

¹⁷ for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;

¹⁸ for he who in these things is serving the Christ, `is' acceptable to God and approved of men.

¹⁹ So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;

¹⁴ for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;'

¹⁵ and if one another ye do bite and devour, see -- that ye may not by one another be consumed.

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

² with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love,

³ being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of the peace;

⁴ one body and one Spirit, according as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁶ one God and Father of all, who `is' over all, and through all, and in you all,

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice,

³² and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.

²⁷ Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

¹ If, then, any exhortation `is' in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

² fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing,

³ nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves --

¹⁴ Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
