Speak not evil one of another See on Titus 3:2. Evil- speaking is a grand hinderance of peace and comfort; yea, and of holiness. O who is sufficiently aware of the evil of that sin? He that speaketh evil of his brother Of his fellow-Christian or fellow-creature; and judgeth his brother For such things as the word of God allows, or does not condemn, does, in effect, speak evil of the law Both of Moses and of Christ, which forbids that kind of speaking; and judgeth the law Condemns it, as if it were an imperfect rule. In doing which, thou art not a doer of the law Dost not yield due obedience to it; but a judge of it Settest thyself above it, and showest, if thou wert able, thou wouldest abrogate it. There is one lawgiver By whose judgment and final sentence thou must stand or fall hereafter; for he is able to execute the sentence he denounces, and save with a perfect and everlasting salvation, and to destroy with an utter and endless destruction; who art thou A poor, weak, dying worm; that judgest another And thereby assumest the prerogative of Christ?

11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
