Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 19:14

ἔλεγξον τὸν πλησίον, μήποτε οὐκ εἶπε, καὶ εἰ εἴρηκεν, ἵνα μὴ δευτερώσῃ.
King James Version (KJV)

Admonish thy friend, it may be he hath not said it: and if he have, that he speak it not again.

Modern English

Question your friend — perhaps he did not say it; and if he did, so that he won't repeat it.
