Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. {nothing...: Heb. they shall have no stumblingblock}

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, {even} those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. {of full age: or, perfect} {use: or, an habit, or, perfection}

But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself {rather} unto godliness.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: {adultery: Gr. an adulteress}

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, {and} easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. {partiality: or, wrangling}

But now, because {it is} not {so}, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth {it} not in great extremity: {he hath: that is, God hath} {he knoweth: that is, Job knoweth}

He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
