An open rebuke is better than hidden love!Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.

“ If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.

Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness! If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don’t let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked and their deeds.

The king’s officials told him,“ Nathan the prophet is here to see you.” Nathan went in and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.

To flatter friends is to lay a trap for their feet.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong.

Then Nathan said to David,“ You are that man! The Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anointed you king of Israel and saved you from the power of Saul.

Then King David ordered,“ Call Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” When they came into the king’s presence,the king said to them,“ Take Solomon and my officials down to Gihon Spring. Solomon is to ride on my own mule.There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. Blow the ram’s horn and shout,‘ Long live King Solomon!’Then escort him back here, and he will sit on my throne. He will succeed me as king, for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.”“ Amen!” Benaiah son of Jehoiada replied.“ May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, decree that it happen.And may the Lord be with Solomon as he has been with you, my lord the king, and may he make Solomon’s reign even greater than yours!”So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the king’s bodyguard took Solomon down to Gihon Spring, with Solomon riding on King David’s own mule.There Zadok the priest took the flask of olive oil from the sacred tent and anointed Solomon with the oil. Then they sounded the ram’s horn and all the people shouted,“ Long live King Solomon!”And all the people followed Solomon into Jerusalem, playing flutes and shouting for joy. The celebration was so joyous and noisy that the earth shook with the sound.

And remember, our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved. This is what our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom God gave him—speaking of these things in all of his letters. Some of his comments are hard to understand, and those who are ignorant and unstable have twisted his letters to mean something quite different, just as they do with other parts of Scripture. And this will result in their destruction.
