But reverence in your levavot Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach as Adoneinu, prepared always for a hitstaddekut (an apologetic defense) to everyone coming to you with a she'elah (question), ready with a word concerning the tikvah in you, But with anavah (meekness) and yirat Shomayim, having a clear matzpun (conscience), so that, when you are maligned by lashon hora, your abusers may be humiliated by your midas chasidus in Moshiach.

EINEI ADONOI EL TZADDIKIM V'AZNAV EL SHAV'ATAM (Because the tzaddikim are before the eyes of HASHEM and His ears are open to their tefillos). P'NEI ADONOI B'OSEI RAH L'HACHRIT ME'ARETZ ZICHRAM (But the face of the L-rd is against the ones doing evil to cut off their memory from the earth).

Do not let your adornment be outward, with coiffures and with wearing gold or fine apparel, But let your adornment be nistar (hidden), adornment shebalev (inwardly) by the imperishable adorning of the quiet ruach anavah (humble spirit), which is before HASHEM of great worth.

HAISH HECHAFETZ CHAYYIM OHEV YAMIM LIROT TOV (For the one wanting to love life and to see good days) NETZOR L'SHONECHA MERAH U'SFATECHA MIDABER MIRMAH (Let him stop his tongue from speaking lashon hora and his lips from speaking remiyah). “Let him turn away from resha and let him do that which is good, let him seek shalom and pursue it;”

Now, to say over, all of you be an agudah (bound together union) in your thinking, have achdus, be sympathetic, having ahavah (agape) for the Achim b'Moshiach, being tender-hearted men of mercy v'shiflei ruach (and lowly of spirit), Not rendering ra'ah for ra'ah or lashon hora for lashon hora, but, fahkert (on the contrary), rendering a bracha (blessing), because to this tachlis (purpose) you were given your kri'ah (calling), that you may inherit a bracha (blessing).

And who is the one harming you if you have kana'ut (zeal) for HaTov (The Good)?

“Let him turn away from resha and let him do that which is good, let him seek shalom and pursue it;”

For im yirtzeh HASHEM (if the L-rd wills), it is better to suffer tzoros for doing mitzvot than for doing ra'ah.
