1Thes 2:5-7
5 For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness-- God is witness.

7 But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

Gal 5:24-26

Rom 8:1-2

Rom 8:5-8
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

xxxAlot of people have trouble recognizing the difference between mocking and humor. Humor is done on a friendly basis. Mocking is done to ridicule or insult someone. Mocking is done through ignorance of the truth what ever the truth may be on the subject being mocked. Truth is truth and some times it hurts to hear it. And many think they are speaking truth in their mocking. Know this that if you are wrong in your mocking you will answer for it on judgment day. It will condemn you.
