My response to correction reveals my character.

I would prefer to put the burden on the one doing the correcting. As in, “If he would have had a better attitude, I would have accepted his correction.” Or, “If she weren’t such a gossiping nag to begin with, I could take her correction better.”

Do you understand what I’m trying to say?

I want the person reproving me to do it right so that I can respond right. If not, well, my poor response somehow becomes his fault, not my own.

God’s perspective is different:

“Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:
rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee” (Proverbs 9:8).

I do not see any allowance made that allows me to tailor my response to the attitude and/or character of the person correcting me.
