107. That we must not use detraction.

In Solomon, in the Proverbs: "Love not to detract, lest thou be taken away." [4606] Also in the forty-ninth Psalm: "Thou sattest, and spakest against thy brother; and against the son of thy mother thou placedst a stumbling-block." [4607] Also in the Epistle of Paul to the Colossians: [4608] "To speak ill of no man, nor to be litigious." [4609]
