People Who are Mean

Do not pay attention to every word that is spoken, or you may hear your servant cursing you.

For you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.

But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

…bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.

Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them.

…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

He who walks with the wise will become wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.

Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
