Is good

Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt become insipid, how shall it recover its savour? it is no longer fit for any thing, but to be cast out and trod under foot.

salt is good, but if the salt has lost its savour, with what shall it be recovered?

Have salt

let no obscene language defile your mouth, use only such as tends to edification, that it may be beneficial to the hearers.

let an air of modesty appear in all your discourse; and let it be seasoned with discretion, in making a proper reply, when you are call'd into question.

Have peace

a new commandment I give unto you, "that ye love one another; that you would have the same love for one another as I have had for you."

Above all I enjoin you, to love one another.

do all you can to live peaceably, if it be possible, with all mankind.

for the gospel dispensation does not consist in meats and drinks, but in piety and peace, and spiritual joy.

Finally, brethren, be cheerful: redress yourselves, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

for all the law is comprehended in this one precept, "thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

with all humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another in love;

only conduct yourselves in a manner becoming the gospel of Christ, that whether I come to see you, or else am absent, I may have this account of you, that you are stedfastly of the same resolution, and unanimously contend for the faith of the gospel,

If then there be any christian consolation, any charitable relief, any communion of the spirit, if any tenderness of compassion,

be you therefore adorn'd with a compassionate temper, with benevolence, humility, meekness, patience as becometh saints and chosen favourites of God:

Avoid the passions of youth. pursue justice, fidelity, benevolence and concord with all sincere christians.

seek peace with all men, and sanctity of life, without which no man shall see the Lord:

for he that is not dispassionate is a stranger to the practice of true virtue.

but if envy and contention imbitter your minds, don't think your false pretences can stand against the truth:

In a word, live all of you in perfect agreement and sympathy, be full of fraternal love, compassion, and affability.
