SOME THOUGHTS FOR GSR'S
...they must be friendly to strangers and enjoy doing good things. They must also be sensible, fair, pure, and self-controlled. They must stick to the true message they were taught, so that their good teaching can help others and correct everyone who opposes it. There are many who don't respect authority, and they fool others by talking nonsense. (1)
...teach only what is correct. Tell the older men to have self-control and to be serious and sensible. (2)
Always set a good example for others. Be sincere and serious when you teach. Use clean language that no one can criticize. (3)
...don't have anything to do with stupid arguments... (4)
Warn troublemakers once or twice. Then don't have anything else to do with them. You know that their minds are twisted,... (5)
God wants you to silence stupid and ignorant people by doing right. (6)
Any of the above make sense?
