I think one of the hardest things I have to learn and do as an adult is speaking ill of no man.

Have you met men, πŸ‘‹. They can be so annoying, frustrating,pretentious, and arrogant. But what can your humble self do, you have to learn to speak no ill of them.

Back to business

So why is it necessary to speak no ill of no man.

1.God said so.

  • Titus 3:2,Β ESV: "to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people

I know most people don't like hearing God said so business, if you are such persons πŸ™„, well God is God and you are lucky he is a good and generous God. If you know you knowπŸ˜…πŸ˜‰ .

2. For your mental health: Just imagine if all you do is garbage in ,garbage out, I.e. you listen to gossips and then you get upset and you find an opportunity to tell the gossip, and trust me, opportunities like that usual come , even without a scale of demand.

You then tell this gossip and most times, more often than not, you regret that you ever mentioned that in the first place, so why go through the stress at all, just speak ill of no man.

  1. You want peace with all men: No matter how much of a introvert you might be, you don't want anyone calling you a gossip or a back stabber, or any terrible name, it is really not hard, just mind your business, if that would not work, keep your opinion to yourself especially if it would cause more hardvoc than good.

How to avoid speaking ill of mem

  1. Try as much as possible to think great of everyone no matter how terrible that person may be .

  2. You can try excusing their behaviour, I'm other than you are gossip or ill intention free.

  3. Love covers every multitude of sin,"hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs."so it pays to just love everyone. Being pretentious is not the same as loving ever man.


Of all methods mentioned, I think loving people is still the best method ever .

I am sorry to have bore you, I am just reminding myself of some things I might need to work on. I refuse to let people determine how my day should turn out, so my confession:

Glad to read you are having a great week. And sorry about that lost money, need to be very careful when sending out especially there's a lot of chains available nowadays. As to thinking or speaking ill of men or other people, it's a challenge we all face and we can be our own police to not be judging of others.

Hi, and thanks for stopping by my posts. Speaking evil in this context of Titus 3:2 is slandering in the Greek. That is evil and associated with gossiping, as you noted.

But remember the words of Jesus when He spoke the woes on the Pharisees. And consider what He said when cleansing the Temple twice.

And how about Peter, who told a man to go to hell? He said, "β€œMay your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!" (Acts 8:20, NIV).

The difference is that both spoke truth, difficult truth, and in a firm manner, which is love, so that people might repent.

Well I am still in context. I am saying speaking ill of them behind them, and not in front of them. Jesus our perfect example as you mentioned. Every of his rebukes were for correction, it was never to make the pharisees look bad or the people to look bad, it had an end. It was never without a purpose. So when you speak ill of someone , your intent matters. when your intent is ill,then its gossip and not righteous anymore. Do you understand?

Understand? Far more than you think. The purpose of all correction, church discipline, rebuking false teachers and kicking them out of the church, has an identical purpose: for the wrongdoer to be led to repentance.

If you read and study the pastoral epistles (1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus), there you will observe Paul using very strong language. He is angry big time and pulls no punches. But like you said, he addresses them and not behind their backs.

If we as teachers do not have the proper answers (theology) to rebuke the group mentioned above, then we are not qualified to be teachers. Again, this is explicit in the pastoral epistles.
