Ye are the salt of the earth: and if the salt be rendered insipid, with what shall it be salted? it is yet strong for nothing, except to be cast without, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Salt good: but if salt be rendered insipid, with what shall it be fitted?

Have salt

Let not any foul word go out of your mouth, but if any good to the building of necessity, that it might give grace to them hearing.

Your word always in grace, Seasoned with salt, to know how it is fitting for you to answer one another.

Have peace

Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace and pursue it

Song of ascensions to David. Behold, how good and how pleasant the dwelling of brethren even together.

A new command give I to you, That ye love one another: as I loved you, that ye also love one another.

These things I command you, that ye love one another.

If possible of you, living peaceably with all men.

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, bearing one another in love;

Only live as citizens worthy of the good news of Christ: that whether coming and seeing you, whether being absent, I shall bear the things concerning you, that ye stand in one spirit, one soul, fighting together in faith of the good news;

If therefore any consolation in Christ, if any encouragement of love, if any mutual participation of the Spirit, if any compassions and mercies,

Put on therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassions, kindnesses, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

And flee youthful, eager desires: and follow justice, faith, love, peace, with them calling upon the Lord from a pure heart.

Follow peace with all, and consecration, without which none shall see the Lord:

For man s anger works not the justice of God.

And if ye have bitter envy and intrigue in your heart, boast not, and lie not against the truth.

And finally, all unanimous, suffering together, loving the brethren, having good bowels, an affectionate disposition:
