“Do not speak against one another,

brethren. He who speaks against a brother, or

judges his brother, speaks against the law, and

judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are

not a doer of a law, but a judge of it. There is only

one Lawgiver and Judge, the ONE who is able to

save and destroy; but who are you who judge your

neighbor?”

Act as a Judge, We must act with Grace,

Love and Concern for others, but also

with Strength and Firmness.

“And if your brother sins, go and reprove him in

private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.

But if he does not listen to you, take one or more with

you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses,

every fact maybe confirmed. And if he refuses to listen

to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen

even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile orTax collector.”

The real alternative to slander is

Courtesy and the Showing of Honor.

discuss issues that might lead to slander.

information that has been passed on to us.

about other people, speech that subtractsfrom the respect and esteem your listeners

have for them.

wickedness, evil, greed and malice; full of

envy, murder, rivalry, treachery and spite.

They are gossips and scandalmongers and

they hate GOD.”

reveals secrets, therefore do not associate
