from anger and forsake wrath; Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing."

enough to go into the fiery hell.
"Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there
remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there

present your offering."

YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.' Do not be overcome by evil, but
overcome evil with good."
