Verse 11— Speak not evil one of another, brethren. This great sin has prevailed in all ages of the Church, although directly forbidden. The blessed Master commands us to love one another. One can not love his brother while speaking evil of him. By speaking evil of a brother, you speak evil of the law. Now, what law? The law of Christ. You thereby condemn the law. You, in thus condemning the law, can not at the same time be an observer and a doer of the law. You are not a doer as you are commanded to be, but a judge, a condemner, and in this claim for yourself the authority of a lawgiver.
