Proverbs 17 · Grade 3

Love Covers

Name Date

Read the Story

Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife. Peace at home is worth more than a feast.

He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends. Forgiving keeps friends close. Gossip pulls them apart.

A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity. A cheerful heart makes good medicine. Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise.

Memory Verse

“A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.”
