Ephesians 4:29:
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

To: Hebrews 11:6

Paul also protested, according to Luke:

Acts. 23:3 —

“Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck!””

That would certainly have gotten snowflakes howling on Free Republic.

Paul wrote epistles to Christians on how to treat each other, not just advice to anyone at anytime.

He even had churches kick out Christians who were overtly sinning.

To: Hebrews 11:6
well written; nicely done:

Ephesians 4:
  1. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
  2. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
  3. Neither give place to the devil.
  4. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
  5. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
  6. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
  7. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
  8. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
