Summary: Make peace and judge fairly.

## Greek text

οὐ ποθήσεις σχίσμα, εἰρηνεύσεις δὲ μαχομένους· κρινεῖς δικαίως, οὐ λήψῃ πρόσωπον ἐλέγξαι ἐπὶ παραπτώμασιν.

## English translation (Claude)

You shall not desire division, but you shall make peace between those who are fighting. You shall judge justly; you shall not show partiality in reproving transgressions.
