9 (A)He who covers a transgression seeks love,But (B)he who repeats a matter separates friends.
9 Whoever conceals an offense promotes love,(A)but whoever gossips about it separates friends.(B)
9 Whoever (A)covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter (B)separates close friends.
9 Overlook an offense and bond a friendship; fasten on to a slight and—good-bye, friend!
