Being warned openly is better than being loved in secret.Wounds from a friend can be trusted. But an enemy kisses you many times.

“ If your brother or sister sins against you, go to them. Tell them what they did wrong. Keep it between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them back.

If a godly person hit me, it would be an act of kindness. If they would correct me, it would be like pouring olive oil on my head. I wouldn’t say no to it. I will always pray against the things that sinful people do.

The king was told,“ Nathan the prophet is here.” So Nathan went to the king. He bowed down with his face toward the ground.

Those who only pretend to praise their neighbors are spreading a net to catch them by the feet.

When Peter came to Antioch, I told him to his face that I was against what he was doing. He was clearly wrong.

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

King David said,“ Tell Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet to come in. Also tell Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, to come.” So they came to the king.He said to them,“ Take my officials with you. Have my son Solomon get on my own mule. Take him down to the Gihon spring.Have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him as king over Israel there. Blow a trumpet. Shout,‘ May King Solomon live a long time!’Then come back up to the city with him. Have him sit on my throne. He will rule in my place. I’ve appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answered the king.“ Amen!” he said.“ May the Lord your God make it come true.You are my king and master. The Lord has been with you. May he also be with Solomon. King David, may the Lord make Solomon’s kingdom even greater than yours!”So Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet left the palace. Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went with them. So did the Kerethites and Pelethites. They had Solomon get on King David’s mule. And they brought him down to the Gihon spring.Zadok the priest had taken an animal horn from the sacred tent. The horn was filled with olive oil. He anointed Solomon with the oil. A trumpet was blown. All the people shouted,“ May King Solomon live a long time!”Then they went up toward the city. Solomon was leading the way. The people were playing flutes. They were filled with great joy. The ground shook because of all the noise.

Remember that while our Lord is waiting patiently to return, people are being saved. Our dear brother Paul also wrote to you about this. God made him wise to write as he did.Paul writes the same way in all his letters. He speaks about what I have just told you. His letters include some things that are hard to understand. People who don’t know better and aren’t firm in the faith twist what he says. They twist the other Scriptures too. So they will be destroyed.
