1. Honor rather than ___________________________

 

1. Respect rather than ___________________________

 

1. Justice rather than ___________________________

 

1. Civility rather than ___________________________

1. God’s Glory, not ___________________________

 

I Peter 3:15-16 - But in your hearts revere Christ as LORD. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.

 

Colossians 4:6 - Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

 

Ephesians 4:29 - Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths . . . that it may give grace to those who hear.
