Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
For every mocker is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is with the simple.
But the wisdom, that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation.
But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity,
The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.
For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
To speak evil of no man, not to be litigious, but gentle: shewing all mildness towards all men.
Now I Paul myself beseech you, by the mildness and modesty of Christ, who in presence indeed am lowly among you, but being absent, am bold toward you.
A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.
The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things.
