For this and other questions in this series, please do not send me a link to the English translation of this document, which I am aware exists on-line. This is a homework assignment as part of a course I'm taking, and would like to resolve this without the aid of the finished product.
Thank you!

we ourselves start to act in a tolerant manner
we ourselves start to act in a tolerant manner
or
we ourselves start to embrace tolerance
I think the word نأخذ here means start/begin نبدأ . The context encourages this interpretation. Translated in this way, definitely we need to add the word OURSELVES to the translation.
