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 person of perversity will spread dissent,
and he who whispers separates a close friend.
With a mouth, the godless shall destroy his neighbor,
but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
A gossip walks about telling a secret,
but the trustworthy in spirit keeps the matter.
He who conceals hatred has lips of deceit,
and he who utters slander—he 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 rotten word must proceed from your mouth, but only something good for the building up of the need, in order that it may give grace to those who hear,
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right.
He who speaks honestly in his heart.
He does not slander with his tongue.
He does not harm his friend,
nor bring up a disgrace against his neighbor.
Blessed are you
when they insult you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you, lying on account of me.
