Of David, a contemplative song. Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.
A rebuke makes a greater impression on a discerning person than a hundred lashes on a fool.
Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not brag, it is not puffed up,
let him know that the one who turns a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
Above all, keep your love for one another constant, for “love covers a multitude of sins.”
