The Greek word, katalaleite, signifies speaking any thing that may hurt or injure another we must not speak evil things of others, though they be true, unless we be called to it, and there be some necessary occasion for the much less must we report evil things when they are false, or, for aught we know, may be so. We are cautioned against the sin of evil-speaking: Speak not evil one of another, brethren. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. ![]() 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? 13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. ![]() Jam 4:16 | MHC | STEP | Caution against Slander Caution against Presumption.
