you_o foolish_a galatian_n and_o such_o kind_n of_o reproach_n be_v not_o sin_n 2._o reproachful_a and_o revile_v word_n proceed_v either_o from_o anger_n and_o desire_v of_o revenge_n as_o here_o in_o shemei_n or_o from_o pride_n as_o in_o rabsake_v against_o hezekiah_n or_o from_o foolishness_n as_o nabal_n revile_v david_n 3._o how_o we_o be_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o in_o bear_v of_o

a_o reviler_n must_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o go_v away_o without_o a_o rebuke_n as_o if_o either_o his_o reproach_n tend_v to_o the_o hindrance_n of_o our_o good_a name_n or_o our_o brother_n and_o they_o which_o hear_v it_o be_v by_o our_o silence_n apt_a to_o believe_v the_o slander_n and_o if_o a_o discreet_a reproof_n may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o make_v he_o see_v his_o sin_n 3._o and_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o a_o fool_n be_v not_o to_o be_v answer_v in_o his_o foolishness_n lest_o we_o be_v like_o he_o 16.4_o prov._n 16.4_o if_o we_o think_v that_o we_o shall_v grow_v too_o

2._o god_n be_v the_o revenger_n of_o sin_n therefore_o not_o the_o author_n 3._o god_n hate_v nothing_o which_o he_o have_v make_v but_o he_o hate_v sin_n 4._o he_o that_o do_v or_o procure_v sin_n
