Cyprian, on Titus 3:2
Cyprian · c. A.D. 200–258
Titus 3:2 · Douay-Rheims
“To speak evil of no man, not to be litigious, but gentle: shewing all mildness towards all men.”
On this verse:
“That we must not use detraction. In Solomon, in the Proverbs: "Love not to detract, lest thou be taken away." Also in the forty-ninth Psalm: "Thou sattest, and spakest against thy brother; and against the son of thy mother thou placedst a stumbling-block." Also in the Epistle of Paul to the Colossians: "To speak ill of no man, nor to be litigious."”
