Evil-speaking
Easton’s Bible Dictionary
Evil-speaking: is expressly forbidden (Titus 3:2; James 4:11), and severe punishments are denounced against it (1 Corinthians 5:11; 6:10). It is spoken of also with abhorrence (Psalm 15:3; Proverbs 18:6,7), and is foreign to the whole Christian character and the example of Christ.
