25 Bible Verses About Being Rude (ESV)

13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

17   A friend loves at all times,
    and a brother is born for adversity.

40 But all things should be done decently and in order.

22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.

15:1   A soft answer turns away wrath,
    but a harsh word stirs up anger.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

12   Hatred stirs up strife,
    but love covers all offenses.

31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

18   There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,
    but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.

13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

27 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
