"But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith."
1 Timothy 1:5 NASB
This is how we all should instruct someone whether it be from the youngest child to the oldest elder. The word RESPECT comes to mind.
If we want our words to ring true then we must do it in such a fashion that we don't cause division or lead someone to retaliate. Not everyone will agree with what we say and that is okay. We are more likely to have more listeners when we do it according to God's plan then if we try to do it in our own flesh.
When we get caught up in trying to bring forth instruction in our own way, we ourselves can then be led astray, and as a result we will lead others astray. It becomes like a tangled web.
Christ Jesus needs to be and remain our focal point in every situation for therein lies love, purity of heart, good conscience and faith. Jesus encompasses it all.
Amen.
