Reminder 3: Do Not Slander
Titus 3:2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.
It is a common thing to slander those who have treated you badly. Certainly, there are some people who slander any and every one. You need to be careful what you say around those type of people or you'll be next! Here, we see it is not acceptable to slander anyone no matter how they treated you. We are to act in a manner that is consistent with the character of Christ, who loved even the ones crucifying him.
K and A, when someone has hurt you or taken advantage of you in some way, it is easy say nasty things about them. As you do, it is easy to start adding to the story and cut them down with comments that aren't even true. As a believer in Christ, you are to love those that hate you, to pray for them and build them up. Be careful to keep from destroying another person even when they are trying to destroy you or your character.
