Holy Scripture

Proverbs 11:13

A church father on this verse
“"He who walks prudently reveals secrets," etc. And the Lord in the Gospel, "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," etc. (Matt. XVIII). From this, it is rightly inferred:”
Bede, 8th c. — Commentary on Proverbs
