Sirach 19:15 CPDV

¹³  Correct a friend, though perhaps there was a misunderstanding, and he may say, 'I did not do it.' Or, if he did do it, correct him, so that he may not do it again.

¹⁴  Correct your neighbor, for perhaps he did not say it. But if he did say it, correct him, so that he may not say it again.

¹⁵  Correct your friend. For often a fault has been committed.

¹⁶  And do not believe every word. There is one who slips with his word, but not with his heart.

¹⁷  For who is there who has not offended with his words? Correct your neighbor before you reprimand him.
