For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, evil speakings, whisperings, conceits, commotions;

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all wickedness.

Likewise women must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, despise rulership, and speak evil of dignitaries.

But these speak evil of things they do not know; and whatever they understand naturally, like animals without reason, in these things they corrupt themselves.

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.

not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for money, but fair-minded, not quarrelsome, not loving money;

Besides, a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your affliction has made me great.

He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those who are with young.

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest unto your souls.

Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and fairness of Christ; who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself that you not also be tempted.

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

Let your fairness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

for the wrath of man does not bring about the righteousness of God.

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might gain the more;

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the faint-hearted, uphold the weak, be longsuffering towards all.

See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

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