Slander (6)



speak evil of no one, nor listen with pleasure to any one who speaks evil of another. But if you listen, you will partake of the sin of him who speaks evil, if you believe the slander which you hear; for believing it, you will also have something to say against your brother. Thus, then, will you be guilty of the sin of him who slanders. For slander is evil and an unsteady demon. It never abides in peace, but always remains in discord. Keep yourself from it, and you will always be at peace with all.https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/shepherd.html

I wish that I may be so far from speaking ill of them that are good, that I may rather be silent than, without a just cause and call, speak ill of them that are evil. Though the wicked, like dogs, fall upon the sheep of Christ with open mouth, and strive to bury their good names in the open sepulchre of their wide throats, yet the sheep of Christ do rather suffer their rage with patience, than render reviling for reviling.

If I speak evil of any of the saints, I speak evil of myself, and of the Master whom they serve.

It were better for me to be sick and solitary in my bed, than to be censuring or reflecting upon the Lord's servants.

I wish that my tongue may never be so set on fire of hell, as to speak evil of those that are the heirs of heaven.
