​

13 A gossip goes around revealing a secret,

but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.

8 A gossip’s words are like choice food

that goes down to one’s innermost being.

20 Without wood, fire goes out;

without a gossip, conflict dies down.

8 Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—dwell on these things.

160 The entirety of your word is truth,

each of your righteous judgments endures forever.
