Hello! :D

The verse that goes with the character trait, Loyalty, is listed in the Beyond guide as Proverbs 19:11 ~

"Good sense makes one slow to anger,
and it is his glory to overlook an offense."

Is it possible that this is not the right verse? :D :D :D

Thank you!!!

In the KJV, it says, "The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression." I didn't know if that would be helpful. :wink: Then with the definition: loyalty means showing firm, faithful support even in times of trouble." I think the idea is that we can be loyal even when someone sins against us. We have the opportunity to overlook (forgive) or pass over their transgression. Atleast that's what I thought when we were on unit 17. HTH.

That makes sense! I guess the verse, "There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother" comes to mind as well, but we could certainly also talk about that one, couldn't we! :D

Thanks for your help! :D
