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

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

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

6 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
