5

6
Remember the end of your life, and cease from enmity, remember destruction and death, and be true to the commandments.
7
Remember the commandments, and do not be angry with your neighbor; remember the covenant of the Most High, and overlook ignorance.
8
Refrain from strife, and you will lessen sins; for a man given to anger will kindle strife,
