making fun of people

²⁹Let no evil words proceed from your mouth, but only what is good, toward the edification of faith, so as to bestow grace upon those who listen.

⁵Whoever despises the poor rebukes his Maker. And whoever rejoices in the ruin of another will not go unpunished.

⁴nor any indecent, or foolish, or abusive talk, for this is without purpose; but instead, give thanks.

¹¹Brothers, do not choose to slander one another. Whoever slanders his brother, or whoever judges his brother, slanders the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge. ¹²There is one lawgiver and one judge. He is able to destroy, and he is able to set free.

¹“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. ²For with whatever judgment you judge, so shall you be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, so shall it be measured back to you.

¹²Whoever despises his friend is destitute in heart. But the prudent man will remain silent.

¹⁸Just as he is guilty who let loose the arrows and the lances unto death, ¹⁹so also is the man who harms his friend by deceitfulness. And when he has been apprehended, he says, “I did it jokingly.”

¹For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge.

²³Then he went up from there into Bethel. And as he was ascending along the way, little boys departed from the city. And they were mocking him, saying: “Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head!” ²⁴And when he had looked back, he saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two bears went out from the forest, and they wounded forty-two boys among them.

³¹Whoever slanders the indigent argues against his Maker. But he who has compassion on the poor honors his Maker.

¹“Pay attention, lest you perform your justice before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise you shall not have a reward with your Father, who is in heaven. ²Therefore, when you give alms, do not choose to sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the towns, so that they may be honored by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. ³But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

¹⁴For the entire law is fulfilled by one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not consumed by one another!

³¹And exactly as you would want people to treat you, treat them also the same.

³⁴He will ridicule those who ridicule, but he will bestow grace upon the mild.

⁸And finally, may you all be of one mind: compassionate, loving brotherhood, merciful, meek, humble, ⁹not repaying evil with evil, nor slander with slander, but, to the contrary, repaying with blessings. For to this you have been called, so that you may possess the inheritance of a blessing.

¹²Therefore, all things whatsoever that you wish that men would do to you, do so also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
