Being prideful men (and women) we do not like to be reproved by our fellow brethern. But let us take a brief look at a short Biblical survey of the matter.<\/p>\n
\n\nLet the righteous strike me; It shall be a kindness. And let him rebuke me; It shall be as excellent oil; Let my head not refuse it. For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked. (Psalms 141:5 NKJV)\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nDo not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. (Proverbs 9:8 NKJV)\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nHe who keeps instruction is in the way of life, But he who refuses correction goes astray. (Proverbs 10:17 NKJV)\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nWhoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid. (Proverbs 12:1 NKJV)\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nBy pride comes nothing but strife, But with the well-advised is wisdom. (Proverbs 13:10 NKJV)\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nThe ear that hears the rebukes of life Will abide among the wise. He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding. (Proverbs 15:31-32 NKJV)\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nRebuke is more effective for a wise man Than a hundred blows on a fool. (Proverbs 17:10 NKJV)\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nAll Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16 NKJV)\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
