Titus 3:2. To speak evil of no man,
Oh, how necessary is this exhortation even to this day!
Titus 3:2. To be no brawler, but gentle, shewing all meekness, unto all men.
Meekness and gentleness are two of the ornaments of our faith. I would that some professed Christians would understand that unholy contentiousness is not after the mind of Christ, it is not according to that gracious command, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls." No, the Christian must be willing to suffer wrongfully, and to bear it in patience; he is never to be one who renders evil for evil, or railing for railing.
