¹¹ It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned; and turn away from them. ¹⁸ For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly, and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

³² Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:

¹ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. ² And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. ⁴ Love suffereth long, and is kind, love envieth not, love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, ⁵ doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil, ⁶ rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth, ⁷ beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. ⁸ Love never faileth; but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away, whether there be tongues, they shall cease, whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. ⁹ For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. ¹¹ When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child; now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. ¹² For now we see in a mirror, darkly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. ¹³ But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three, and the greatest of these is love.

¹⁰ If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and give him no greeting: ¹¹ for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.

¹⁶ There are six things which the LORD hateth, yea, seven which are an abomination unto Him: ¹⁷ Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood; ¹⁸ A heart that deviseth wicked thoughts, feet that are swift in running to evil; ¹⁹ A false witness that breatheth out lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned; and turn away from them.

¹² Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love him.
