Stop gossiping

Gossips cause distance

  • Proverbs 16:28
    28  A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.


Avoid gossips

  • Proverbs 20:19
    19  A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.


Gossips cause quarrels

  • Proverbs 26:20
    20  Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down.


Gossiping accompanies other sins

  • 2 Corinthians 12:20
    20  For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.
