The construction is deliberate: it does not say these virtues help, it says each one by itself is sufficient for its result, which is a strong claim and an easy one to remember.\n\nWhat holds the four together is that none of them depends on circumstance. Wealth can be lost and status can be taken away, but conduct, forbearance, learning and restraint from harm stay with the person who practises them. Forgiveness in particular is placed where one might expect retaliation to be, and the verse quietly argues that letting go settles the mind in a way that winning an argument never does.
