Ben Sira 28:7

Listen to Ben Sira 28:7
7 the commands in the covenant of the Most High. Instead of getting upset over your neighbor's faults, overlook them.

Ben Sira 28:7 In-Context

5 If you cannot get rid of your anger, you have no hope of forgiveness - you are only a human being.
6 Think about it! Some day you will die, and your body will decay. So give up hate and live by the Lord's commands,
7 the commands in the covenant of the Most High. Instead of getting upset over your neighbor's faults, overlook them.
8 If you stay out of arguments, you will not sin so much, because a hot temper gets them started.
9 It is sinful to break up a friendship by creating hostility among people who get along well together.
Scripture taken from the Good News Translation - Second Edition, Copyright 1992 by American Bible Society. Used by Permission.
