On Administering Reproof
Luke 7:40
And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.


1. To say somewhat to our brother when we see him run into an error. In such a case we may not be silent. "Thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him" (Leviticus 19:17). Observe —

2. Courteous usage should not keep us from telling men of their faults, and discovering their failings to them.

(N. Rogers.)
