Build one another up!
If anyone thinks himself to be religious,
and yet does not bridle his tongue
but deceives his own heart,
this man's religion is worthless.
James 1:26 NASB

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4:29-32 NIV

Finding Favor with God
Show respect for everyone. Love your Christian brothers and sisters. Fear God. Show respect for the king.
Slaves
You who are slaves must accept the authority of your masters. Do whatever they tell you--not only if they are kind and reasonable, but even if they are harsh. For God is pleased with you when, for the sake of your conscience, you patiently endure unfair treatment. Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing right and are patient beneath the blows, God is pleased with you.
1 Peter 2:17-20 NLT
