Proverbs 10:12

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Hatred stirs up trouble; love overlooks the wrongs that others do.

See the chapter Copy

Losing your temper causes a lot of trouble, but staying calm settles arguments.

Worthless people plan trouble. Even their words burn like a flaming fire.

You will keep your friends if you forgive them, but you will lose your friends if you keep talking about what they did wrong.

Selfish people cause trouble, but you will live a full life if you trust the LORD.

A person with a quick temper stirs up arguments and commits a lot of sins.

If you churn milk you get butter; if you hit your nose, you get blood— and if you stay angry, you get in trouble.

Why do you fight and argue with each other? Isn't it because you are full of selfish desires that fight to control your body?

If you turn sinners from the wrong way, you will save them from death, and many of their sins will be forgiven.

Most important of all, you must sincerely love each other, because love wipes away many sins.
