Thematic Bible: Not being hasty


Thematic Bible



Do not be quick to go to law about what you have seen, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbour has put you to shame? Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another: Or your hearer may say evil of you, and your shame will not be turned away.
