Colossians 4 "5 Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. 6 Let your speech always be [c]with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person."
It fits with the principle that Gregory of Nazianzus explains. One application of the verse is to speak in a way so that you can understand where the person is spiritually. Sometimes what you learn is that you should speak more gospel. Sometimes you learn that the person is dangerous and will turn on you if you continue. God bless.
I needed to read this today and take it in. Your posts on the Jesus’ Sermon have been wonderfully helpful in my walk. Thank you.
Thank you, Chris.
That last bit reminds of a verse in Colossians.
