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.
Deceitful people cause strife/quarreling among other people;
those who say false things about other people cause people who are friends to become enemies.
Godless people can ruin others by what they say [MTY],
but righteous people will be saved by their ◄own good sense/being wise►.
Those who ◄spread gossip/tell bad things about others► will tell your secrets to others,
but if there is someone whom you can trust, you can trust him to not tell your secrets to others.
Those who will not admit that they hate others are liars,
and those who slander others are foolish.
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.
Do not use [MTY] foul language. Instead, say only things that are useful for helping people when they need help, things that will help spiritually the people that you talk to.
Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that.
They always say what is true
and they do not slander others.
They do not do to others things that are wrong,
and they do not say bad things about others.
God is pleased with you when other people insult you, when other people do evil things to you and when other people say falsely that you are evil because you believe in me.
