And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in Heaven may forgive you your sins. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God s wrath, for it is written. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.
If anyone says, I love God, yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. This is what the Lord says.
