What does the Bible say about gossiping?

The apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians 4:29 tell us that God‘s word warns us to stay away from people who gossip and guard our words when we speak about others. people who are hurt, angry, and broken inside tend to talk negatively about family members and others. It is very easy to see when a person is emotionally hurt because they gossip. They want to make themselves feel good and encourage others to listen and agree. In book of James.4:11 tells us not to slander one another, and if anyone does speak against his brother or judges him, he speaks against God‘s word. The last thing God wants us to do is to speak negatively against our sisters and brothers. We are to build each other up and support one another, not tear them down. The Holy Spirit will convict your heart if you find yourselfgossiping. Paul said in first Thessalonians 4:11 make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business. Soloman said in proverbs 16:28 that a trouble person who stares up conflict and gossip separates close friends.
