Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.
It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,
Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’
And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate.
Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.
Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.
