Verse 9-25:
I think there's a lesson to be applied in the story of Simon the Sorcerer, when he was harshly rebuked instead of making excuses he just exclaimed "Pray to the Lord for me". Whenever one rebukes me for a mistake it is for my own good, the most healthy thing to do is to thank them and repent.
Last time I was offended was when Elice told me, "I don't see certain fruit growing in my life". My defensive reaction would've been along the lines of "i haven't seen you bring one person to church and you're calling me inadequate?". However, she's a seasoned Christian who also couldn't go to overseas missions because her dad wouldn't let her, this is the same situation i'm struggling with. So I'm glad I just shut up and took it. She was right about certain qualities that I lack.
