δοῦλον δὲ κυρίου οὐ δεῖ μάχεσθαι ἀλλ' ἤπιον εἶναι πρὸς πάντας διδακτικόν ἀνεξίκακον
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
ὀργίζεσθε καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε· ὁ ἥλιος μὴ ἐπιδυέτω ἐπὶ τῷ παροργισμῷ ὑμῶν
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not sun go the down upon your wrath:
ἡ δὲ ἄνωθεν σοφία πρῶτον μὲν ἁγνή ἐστιν ἔπειτα εἰρηνική ἐπιεικής εὐπειθής μεστὴ ἐλέους καὶ καρπῶν ἀγαθῶν ἀδιάκριτος καὶ ἀνυπόκριτος
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
וַיָּרֶם מֹשֶׁה אֶת-יָדוֹ וַיַּךְ אֶת-הַסֶּלַע בְּמַטֵּהוּ פַּֽעֲמָיִם וַיֵּֽצְאוּ מַיִם רַבִּים וַתֵּשְׁתְּ הָֽעֵדָה וּבְעִירָֽם׃
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
