Proverbs 18:8
The Message
8 Listening to gossip is like eating cheap candy;
do you really want junk like that in your belly?
Proverbs 24:28-29
The Message
Proverbs 24:28-29
The Message
28-29 Don’t talk about your neighbors behind their backs—
no slander or gossip, please.
Don’t say to anyone, “I’ll get back at you for what you did to me.
I’ll make you pay for what you did!”
Ephesians 5:3-4
The Message
Ephesians 5:3-4
The Message
3-4 Don’t allow love to turn into lust, setting off a downhill slide into sexual promiscuity, filthy practices, or bullying greed. Though some tongues just love the taste of gossip, those who follow Jesus have better uses for language than that. Don’t talk dirty or silly. That kind of talk doesn’t fit our style. Thanksgiving is our dialect.
