General Exhortations to Unity and Love
8
Finally, be ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
9
not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10
For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:
11
And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12
For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.
