I read Matt.7:6 and read the cross-references. "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them under your feet, and turn again and rend you." R-1) Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, CONTRADICTING AND BLASPHEMING. 46) Then Paul and Barnabas...It was necessary that the Word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing YE PUT IT FROM YOU, AND JUDGE YOURSELVES UNWORTHY OF EVERLASTING LIFE, lo, we turn to the Gentiles." R-2) Proverbs 9:7,8 "He that reproveth a scorner [One who scorns; a despiser; a contemner; specifically, a scoffer at religion.] getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked {wicked adj 1: morally bad in principle or practice [ant: virtuous]2: having committed unrighteous acts; "a sinful person" [syn: sinful,unholy]4: morally bad or wrong; "evil purposes"; "an evil influence"}
