Suffereth

by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

But the fruit of the Spirit is divine love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

with all humility and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in divine love;

being impowered with all power, according to the might of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy;

Therefore, as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on affections of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

in meekness correcting the adversaries; if peradventure God may grant unto them repentance into the perfect knowledge of the truth,

Burt you have followed my teaching, leadership, purpose, faith, long suffering, divine love, patience,

preach the word: be instant in season and out of season; convict, exhort, rebuke, with all longsuffering and teaching.

But the wisdom which is from above is indeed first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily persuaded, full of mercy and of good works, free from partiality and hypocrisy.

before all things having divine love stedfast toward one another; because divine love covers a multitude of sins:

Is kind

Moreover love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest: because He is good to the ungrateful and wicked.

But be ye kind toward one another, merciful, forgiving one another, as indeed God in Christ forgave you.

Therefore, as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on affections of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

And finally, all being like-minded, sympathetic, loving the brethren, merciful, humble:

and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love.

In this we know the divine love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Beloved, if God so loved us with divine love, we ought also to love one another with divine love.

Envieth

for ye are yet carnal. For where there are envy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and walking about according to man?

For he knew that they delivered Him on account of envy.

being filled with all injustice, wickedness, vice, covetousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceitfulness, evil affection;

Let us walk circumspectly, as in the day; not with revelries and drunkenness, not with debaucheries and impurities, not in strife and envy:

For I fear lest, having come, I may not find you as I wish, and may not be found by you as you wish; lest perhaps strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, calumniations, eavesdroppings, inflations, outfallings, are among you;

envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and things like unto these: which I tell you beforehand, as I did previously say to you, that those doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Some indeed through envy and strife, and some through good will, are preaching Christ:

he has been inflated, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and controversies, from which come envy, strife, blasphemies, evil surmisings,

For when we also were without understanding, being disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in sin and envy, hateful, hating one another;

But if you have bitter envy and strife in your heart, do not boast, and lie against the truth.

Whether do you think that the scripture says in vain, The spirit who dwells in us fights against envy?

Therefore having laid aside all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all calumniations;

Is not

But, brethren, I have transferred these things to myself and Apollos on your account: that you may learn among us not to be wise above what is written; in order that you may not be puffed up one in behalf of one against another.

And have you been inflated, and have not rather mourned, that the one having done this work may be taken from your midst?

But concerning things offered to idols: we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but divine love builds up.

Let no one purposely rob you of your prize by humiliation and worship of the angels, trusting in those things which he has seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his depravity,

If then there is any consolation in Christ, if there is any comfort of divine love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercies,

General references

But I say unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you:

And there was a contention among them, which one of them seems to be the greater,

looking not each after your own interests, but each after that of others.
