¹² Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.

⁸ and, before all things, to one another having the earnest love, because the love shall cover a multitude of sins;

⁹ Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.

¹⁸ A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.

²⁰ let him know that he who did turn back a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

¹ Whence `are' wars and fightings among you? not thence -- out of your passions, that are as soldiers in your members?

²² An angry man stirreth up contention, And a furious man is multiplying transgression.

⁴ The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

⁶ rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

⁷ all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

²⁷ A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips -- as a burning fire.

²⁵ Whoso is proud in soul stirreth up contention, And whoso is trusting on Jehovah is made fat.
