Gal 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

2Ti 4:2 Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency, whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable.

The *vicious” [mentally wrong] cannot bear the presence of the good, whose very looks reprove them, and whose life is a severe, though silent admonition [warning, reprimand, scolding] (Mostly from Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary) *vicious = mentally wrong 1John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with HIM, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the Truth: 1Jojn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as HE is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ HIS Son has cleansED us from all sin. Last but the most important Jam 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Who-so-ever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. The WORD of GOD just destroyed another carnal lie about “friendship evangelism,” and “hanging out” with evil minded souls without “rebuking them that sin before the presence of them all, so the rest will fear.” 2Tim. 5: 20
