Galatians 4:16

¹⁰They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.

⁸Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.

⁴⁵But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁷You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

⁵Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

⁵to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.

⁸The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”

⁷The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

²⁰Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight.

¹⁷When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is that you, you troubler of Israel?”

¹⁸He answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house, in that you have forsaken the LORD’s commandments and you have followed the Baals.
