Side 40 - Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Side 5 - Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you ? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

Side 2 - Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Side 7 - For he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid ; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
