We all mess up a lot. People tend to see this, and our friends or our parents will correct us and help us. We have two ways we can respond to this correction. We can get angry, or we can understand that it was done in love, and choose to change our ways.
Verse 8 says, "Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you."
If we are scoffers and fools, we will respond angrily to correction. If we are wise, we will respond with love to that person. We need to strive to accept correction in love and to act wisely in this manner.
Often when someone points out something that we have done wrong they are doing this because they love us, so let us respond by changing our lives, not fighting them.
