12 Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.
12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.
12 Hatred starts fights, but love pulls a quilt over the bickering.
12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.
12 Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love makes up for all offenses.
9 Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
9 Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends.
9 Overlook an offense and bond a friendship; fasten on to a slight and - good-bye, friend!
9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.
9 Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.
