Do not in public relate your experience_telling how good you are, how devoted, how holy (Exod.
34:29, Psa. 66:16, Phil. 3:13-17).

Give up at once for Christ’s sake all habits, ways, and words unlike the Lord (Eph. 4:22, 5:1-4,
5:13-18, 1 Pet. 2:11).

Never ridicule, or make sport or fun of, the mistakes or foibles of any one, especially of
Christians (Rom. 14, 1 Cor. 12:21-26, Eph. 4:2).

Avoid as you would the plague all and every form of joking, jesting, and punning on the Word
of God (Psa. 119:22,63,103,133, Eph. 5:4).

Meet with your companions as often as possible for prayer, Bible study, and conversation on the
Lord’s things (Mal. 3:16, Heb. 10:24,25, Jude 20).
