Question a friend, because it often turns out to be a false accusation. Don’t trust everything that is said.
Admonish thy friend: for there is often a fault committed.
If you hear something bad about a friend, ask him about it. It might be a lie. Don't believe everything you hear.
Admonish your friend—often it may be slander; do not believe every story.
Question your friend—often he may be the victim of slander; you cannot believe everything you hear.
Question a friend, for often it is slander; so do not believe everything you hear.
Question a friend, for often it is slander; so do not believe everything you hear.
Question a friend, for often it is slander; so do not believe everything you hear.
Question a friend, for often it is slander; so do not believe every word.
Question a friend, for often it is slander; so do not believe everything you hear.
Question a friend, for often it is slander; so do not believe everything you hear.
Reprove thou a friend, for why trespassing is done often; and believe thou not to each word. [Chastise a friend, oft forsooth is done trespass; and not to each word believe thou.]
