Proverbs 10:12

New American Bible - revised edition

Hatred stirs up disputes, but love covers all offenses.

See the chapter Copy

The ill-tempered stir up strife, but the patient settle disputes.

Scoundrels are a furnace of evil, and their lips are like a scorching fire.

Whoever overlooks an offense fosters friendship, but whoever gossips about it separates friends.

The greedy person stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the Lord will prosper.

The ill-tempered stir up strife, and the hotheaded cause many sins.

For as the churning of milk produces curds, and the pressing of the nose produces blood, the churning of anger produces strife.

Where do the wars and where do the conflicts among you come from? Is it not from your passions that make war within your members?

he should know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins.
