Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:	Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.	For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
