Fofoca
A fofoca destrói reputações e relacionamentos. A Bíblia condena severamente o murmúrio, a calúnia e a palavra maldosa, chamando o cristão a edificar com a boca.
O poder destrutivo
O homem perverso semeia contendas, e o que anda com fofocas separa amigos íntimos. A fofoca é veneno social.
A contrary person spreads conflict,
and a gossip separates close friends.
With his mouth the ungodly destroys his neighbor,
but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.
A gossip goes around revealing a secret,
but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.
The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
Edificar com palavras
Não saia da boca nenhuma palavra torpe, mas só a que serve para edificação. Quem fala mal do irmão fala mal da lei.
No foul language should come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear.
The one who lives blamelessly, practices righteousness,
and acknowledges the truth in his heart —
who does not slander with his tongue,
who does not harm his friend
or discredit his neighbor,
"You are blessed when they insult you and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of me.
