Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends.
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.
let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
A greedy man stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the Lord will be enriched.
A worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.
A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression.
