"Speak not Evil one of Another"
James 4:11-17
In the church and in other places, it too often happens that some will gossip about others and speak evil about someone to make themselves feel better or to hurt, defame, or do other evils. Gossip and even telling the truth about someone with the wrong intentions is evil. Paul wrote about these same concerns in 2 Corinthians 12:20, “For I fear that when I come, I may find you not as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish; I fear that there may perhaps be quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.” These are all examples of what can happen when people in the church turn from trying to live as Jesus taught and lived. These are examples of the way the world lives, and not even the worldly are truly happy speaking and living in these evil ways.
