*1.* “Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you. Your heart knows that many times you yourself have cursed others.” *2.* “A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.” *3.* “Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.” *4.* “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.”
