| I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. (Rom. 16:19) |
| Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Matt. 10:16) |
| In malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. (1 Cor. 14:20) |
| I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. (1 Cor. 2:2) |
Love beareth, believeth, endureth all things;
Love is gracious — all malice apart;
Love rejoiceth in goodness, and gratefully
sings,
If the love of the Lord’s in the heart. |
Love gendereth patience, humility, joy,
And such love is unselfish and pure;
Love willingly pardons, no grief to alloy,
And this love shall forever endure. |
