Knowing How To Use Reproof Wisley

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Proverbs 9:7-10

It takes godly wisdom to discern if  we should reprove someone, or give them instruction.  If we rebuke a scorner (Mocker)  we may find ourselves in a jam.

If a wise man is rebuked he will love the one giving it.  If we give  instruction to a wise man, they increase in learning.

So if we possess godly wisdom we will love those who rightly rebuke us.  If we are just and wise we will listen to instruction and learn.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus.  He died for our sins, was buried and He rose again.
