² of no one to speak evil, not to be quarrelsome -- gentle, showing all meekness to all men,

²⁴ and a servant of the Lord it behoveth not to strive, but to be gentle unto all, apt to teach, patient under evil,

²⁵ in meekness instructing those opposing -- if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

³ not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,

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

²⁹ take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,

¹ Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who `are' spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself -- lest thou also may be tempted;

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

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

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you -- so also ye;

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

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

¹⁴ and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;

¹⁵ see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

¹¹ Women -- in like manner grave, not false accusers, vigilant, faithful in all things.

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

¹¹ Speak not one against another, brethren; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, doth speak against law, and doth judge law, and if law thou dost judge, thou art not a doer of law but a judge;

¹ Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,

¹⁷ to all give ye honour; the brotherhood love ye; God fear ye; the king honour ye.

¹⁸ The domestics! be subjecting yourselves in all fear to the masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the cross;

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

¹⁰ for `he who is willing to love life, and to see good days, let him guard his tongue from evil, and his lips -- not to speak guile;

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

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

²⁴ Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than `with' a woman of contentions, and a house of company.

³⁶ And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

¹¹ A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence -- evil hunteth to overflowing.

¹⁹ A false witness `who' doth breathe out lies -- And one sending forth contentions between brethren.

¹¹ As a shepherd His flock He feedeth, With His arm He gathereth lambs, And in His bosom He carrieth `them': Suckling ones He leadeth.

⁵ and Paul said, `I did not know, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people thou shalt not speak evil;'

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.

¹⁹ for being free from all men, to all men I made myself servant, that the more I might gain;

¹ And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed `am' humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,

²⁰ for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I -- I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,

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

⁷ But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children,

⁴ in which they think it strange -- your not running with them to the same excess of dissoluteness, speaking evil,

¹⁰ and chiefly those going behind the flesh in desire of uncleanness, and lordship despising; presumptuous, self-complacent, dignities they are not afraid to speak evil of,

⁸ In like manner, nevertheless, those dreaming also the flesh indeed do defile, and lordship they put away, and dignities they speak evil of,

¹⁰ and these, as many things indeed as they have not known, they speak evil of; and as many things as naturally (as the irrational beasts) they understand, in these they are corrupted;

¹⁹ A man of great wrath is bearing punishment, For, if thou dost deliver, yet again thou dost add.
