| - | 7 Because every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | 16 Because where envy and selfish ambition exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

| - | | + | |
| - | 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
