Do not accuse a man without cause, when he has done you no harm.
Contending with a man without sufficient reason is folly; there is no grounds for it unless he has actually done you harm. The word means to fall upon one another, to come to blows, quarrelling and striving over nothing when no real evil has been inflicted on you.

Render what is due without delay or excuse. If you have it in your hand today, do not put off your neighbor until tomorrow, pretending convenience will come; you are not certain you will live to see tomorrow, and delay shows you love money more than justice and mercy.

Commenting on Proverbs 3:27-35
Whether by words in wrangling quarrels or by lawsuits over trifles, do not strive with a man unless he has genuinely injured you, defrauded you, abused you, or wronged your substance. Otherwise you forsake the wisdom and example of Christ Himself.
