Hatred stirs up strife: but love covers all sins.

By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned,

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

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

In meekness instructing those that oppose them; if God perhaps will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

Preach the word; be diligent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for love shall cover a multitude of sins.

And refused to obey, neither were mindful of your wonders that you did among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a leader to return to their bondage: but you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsook them not.

The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

She stretches out her hand to the poor; yea, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.

She opens her mouth with wisdom; and on her tongue is the law of kindness.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Finally, be all of one mind, having compassion one with another, love as brethren, be tender hearted, be courteous:

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness love.

By this perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

For you are yet carnal: for while there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men?

And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.

And his brothers envied him; but his father observed the saying.

For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found unto you such as you desire not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, conceit, tumults:

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you beforehand, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting over questions and disputes of words, out of which comes envy, strife, railings, evil suspicions,

For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, boast not, and lie not against the truth.

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

Do you think that the scripture says in vain, The spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy?

Therefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking,

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he has repaid me evil for good.

God do so and more also unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that belong to him by the morning light even one male.

And blessed be your advice, and blessed be you, who has kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from hurting you, unless you had hastened and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any remaining males.

And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for a handful for each of the people that follow me.

And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girds on his armor boast himself as he that puts it off.

His ways are always prosperous; your judgments are far above, out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

Only by pride comes strife: but with the well advised is wisdom.

The beginning of strife is like releasing water: therefore leave off contention, before a quarrel starts.

Go not forth hastily to court, lest you know not what to do in the end, when your neighbor has put you to shame.

Lest he that hears it put you to shame, and the evil report turns not away.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, leave not your post; for yielding pacifies great offences.

Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, and their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that you might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

Now concerning things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

Let no man deceive you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affections and mercies,

Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
