Proverbs 27:5-10
Christian Standard Bible
5 Better an open reprimand
than concealed love.(A)
7 A person who is full tramples on a honeycomb,(D)
but to a hungry person, any bitter thing is sweet.
8 Anyone wandering from his home
is like a bird wandering from its nest.(E)
9 Oil(F) and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the sweetness of a friend is better than self-counsel.[a]
10 Don’t abandon your friend or your father’s friend,(G)
and don’t go to your brother’s house
in your time of calamity;
better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.(H)

Christian Standard Bible
The Christian Life
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved,(A) put on compassion, kindness,(B) humility,(C) gentleness,(D) and patience,(E) 13 bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.(F) 14 Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. 15 And let the peace of Christ, to which you were also called(G) in one body, rule your hearts. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell richly among you, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,[a] singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name(H) of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
