You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

So speak, and so act, as those who are to be judged by the law of freedom.

Do not speak against one another, brothers and sisters. The one who speaks against a brother or sister, or judges his brother or sister, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.

As an example, brothers and sisters, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
