As the Scriptures say: "There is no one who is righteous,

All who hate me whisper to each other about me, they imagine the worst about me.

Gossip is spread by wicked people; they stir up trouble and break up friendships.

Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, quarreling stops.

I am afraid that when I get there I will find you different from what I would like you to be and you will find me different from what you would like me to be. I am afraid that I will find quarreling and jealousy, hot tempers and selfishness, insults and gossip, pride and disorder.
