A wrathful man stirs up strife, but one who is slow to anger calms the dispute.

A worthless man digs up evil, and his lips are like a burning fire.

He who is of a proud soul stirs up strife; but he who puts his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.

An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression.

Where do wars and fightings come from among you? Do they not come from your lusts that war in your members?

He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends.

Love is longsuffering and is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast itself, is not puffed up;

let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and conceal a multitude of sins.

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