The Bible addresses the issue of insults in various passages, highlighting both the sinful nature of such behavior and the appropriate response for believers.<br><br><b>Old Testament Insights</b><br><br>The Old Testament provides numerous examples and teachings regarding insults. In the wisdom literature, particularly the Book of Proverbs, there is a clear admonition against engaging in insulting behavior. <a href="/proverbs/12-16.htm">Proverbs 12:16</a> states, "A fool&#8217;s anger is known at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult." This verse underscores the virtue of self-control and the wisdom in not retaliating against insults.<br><br>The Psalms also reflect on the experience of being insulted. In <a href="/psalms/69-9.htm">Psalm 69:9-12</a> , David laments, "For zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me." Here, insults are seen as a burden borne by the righteous, often for the sake of their devotion to God.<br><br><b>New Testament Teachings</b><br><br>The New Testament continues to address the issue of insults, particularly in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus instructs His followers on how to respond to insults. <a href="/matthew/5-11.htm">Matthew 5:11</a> states, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me." This teaching emphasizes the blessedness of enduring insults for the sake of Christ, encouraging believers to rejoice in such circumstances.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also addresses the topic in his epistles. In <a href="/romans/12-14.htm">Romans 12:14</a> , he writes, "Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse." This directive calls Christians to respond to insults with kindness and blessing, rather than retaliation or cursing.<br><br><b>The Example of Christ</b><br><br>Jesus Christ serves as the ultimate example of how to handle insults. During His earthly ministry, He was frequently insulted and mocked, yet He responded with grace and forgiveness. <a href="/1_peter/2-23.htm">1 Peter 2:23</a> describes His response: "When they heaped abuse on Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly." Christ's example sets a high standard for believers, demonstrating the power of entrusting oneself to God in the face of insults.<br><br><b>Practical Application for Believers</b><br><br>For Christians, the biblical teachings on insults call for a response that reflects the character of Christ. Believers are encouraged to exercise patience, self-control, and forgiveness when faced with insults. <a href="/ephesians/4-29.htm">Ephesians 4:29</a> advises, "Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen." This verse highlights the importance of using speech that edifies rather than insults.<br><br>In summary, the Bible provides clear guidance on the issue of insults, urging believers to respond with grace, patience, and a Christ-like attitude. Through the teachings of Scripture and the example of Jesus, Christians are called to rise above insults and reflect the love and character of God in their interactions with others.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/5196.htm"><span class="l">5196. hubris -- wantonness, insolence, an act of wanton violence</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin a prim. word Definition wantonness, insolence, an act of wanton violence<br> NASB Word Usage damage (2), <b>insults</b> (1). harm, hurt, reproach. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/5196.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/3060.htm"><span class="l">3060. loidoros -- abusive, subst. railer</span></a> <br><b>...</b> abuser.
