Hello Cheri, Thanks for the response, but sorry not what I am looking for. I am so sure I read the verse, even stopping to ponder on it. If you think of 1 Cor 13 it makes perfect sense to not "take up an offense that is not yours." I think I saw the verse when I was researching for my book. It may be in the Psalms or Proverbs. I tried my exhaustive concordance without result. If you stop to think about it when you hear of or experience a friend or loved one being offended most ofton we know only one side of the story. Ofton throughout my life time I have taken up someone elses offense (becoming irritated or down right mad at them) only to find out I did not know the whole story and it was at the very least a complete "one sided version by the offendee) Well, anyone else willing to help or suggest, let me know. God Bless, InGodITrust |

While I agree one should get both sides of the story; the bible does talk about justice for children and widows, the poor, those people who need help. Each case should be looked at in its context and then search scripture for appropriate application. There is a verse about strife. Sometimes if not most times its best to stay out of arugments that are not really that important. Prov 26:17 Like one who takes a dog by the ears Is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him. I heard someone say sometime, we should chose our battles carefully. Blessings, Val |

Thank you Val, However, I still am quite certain that I had read a specific verse that said, "Do not take up an offense that occured to someone else." Was hoping that someone out there recalls that verse and/or knows where it is. Again, thanks InGodITrust |
