It does not court discussion but rather demands diligence. Jesus did not lead the discussions as to the appropriateness of what He said, but rather He gave instructions. It is not our business to express our own opinions but rather to discover the mind of God. Listen to the Spirit of God as He seeks to move you today. One way to put out the Spirit s fire is to forget that you are a servant of righteousness.
Christians are no longer servants of sin.
He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. As previously stated, Paul does not want Christians to quench the Spirit.
