¹⁷Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

⁵Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

⁷He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

⁸Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

¹⁷He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

¹Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

¹⁸Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

⁵A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

¹⁰Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

¹²A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

³¹The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.

³²He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

¹⁰A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

²⁵Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

¹¹When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

¹²As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

⁵Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

⁵Open rebuke is better than secret love.

⁶Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

²³He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

⁵It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

¹⁰They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

¹⁵Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

¹⁶But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

¹⁷And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

³Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

⁴And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

⁷The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

¹⁶Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

¹⁵But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

¹¹And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

¹³But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
