The Bible consistently warns against the destructive power of the tongue and the moral implications of using speech to malign or defame others.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Teachings</b><br><br>1. <b>Prohibition of Slander and Gossip</b>: The Bible explicitly condemns slander and gossip, emphasizing the importance of truthful and edifying speech. In <a href="/leviticus/19-16.htm">Leviticus 19:16</a>, the Israelites are commanded, "You must not go about spreading slander among your people." This directive underscores the communal harm caused by evil-speaking and the need for integrity in communication.<br><br>2. <b>The Power of the Tongue</b>: <a href="/james/3-5.htm">James 3:5-6</a> highlights the tongue's potential for destruction: "So too the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze. The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body." This passage illustrates the disproportionate impact of words and the moral responsibility to use speech wisely.<br><br>3. <b>Heart and Speech Connection</b>: Jesus teaches that evil-speaking is a reflection of the heart's condition. In <a href="/matthew/12-34.htm">Matthew 12:34</a>, He states, "For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." This connection implies that evil-speaking is not merely a verbal issue but a spiritual one, rooted in the inner moral state of an individual.<br><br>4. <b>Consequences of Evil-speaking</b>: The Bible warns of the spiritual and relational consequences of evil-speaking. <a href="/proverbs/16-28.htm">Proverbs 16:28</a> notes, "A perverse man spreads dissension, and a gossip separates close friends." This highlights the divisive nature of malicious talk and its ability to fracture relationships and communities.<br><br>5. <b>Call to Edifying Speech</b>: Believers are called to use their words for building up rather than tearing down. <a href="/ephesians/4-29.htm">Ephesians 4:29</a> instructs, "Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen." This positive directive encourages speech that reflects Christian love and edification.<br><br>6. <b>Repentance and Transformation</b>: The Bible offers hope for those who struggle with evil-speaking, emphasizing repentance and transformation through Christ. In <a href="/colossians/3-8.htm">Colossians 3:8</a>, believers are urged to "rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips." This call to action is part of the broader Christian journey of sanctification and renewal.<br><br><b>Practical Implications</b><br><br>Evil-speaking is not merely a social faux pas but a serious moral failing with spiritual ramifications. Christians are encouraged to cultivate a heart aligned with God's righteousness, which naturally leads to speech that honors Him and uplifts others. By adhering to biblical teachings on speech, believers can foster communities marked by love, truth, and unity.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Is expressly forbidden (<a href="/titus/3-2.htm">Titus 3:2</a>; <a href="/james/4-11.htm">James 4:11</a>), and severe punishments are denounced against it (<a href="/1_corinthians/5-11.htm">1 Corinthians 5:11</a>; <a href="/1_corinthians/6-10.htm">6:10</a>).
