A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

But brother goes to court against brother, and that before unbelievers.

Now therefore, it is already an utter failure with you that you go to court against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather be defrauded?

Do all things without murmuring and disputing,

Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord;

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, fair, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

Moreover the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

These are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran begot Lot.

And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah.

And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there.

So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, See that you do not become perturbed along the way.

And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the guilty one, Why are you striking the other fellow?

i1 [A Song of Ascents of David.] i0 par Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another?

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, leading the way before one another in honor;

with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

Let brotherly love continue.

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently out of a pure heart,

Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

Finally, all of you be of one mind, sympathetic; loving the brothers, be tenderhearted, be kind;

And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins.

with godliness brotherly affection, and with brotherly affection love.

He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.

But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother remains in death.

By this we know the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born from God and knows God.

If someone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how is he able to love God whom he has not seen?

And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God also loves his brother.
