Bible Question: would you please explain the Biblical meaning of Gossip

Bible Answer: Dear 561joshua01,

2 Corinthians 12:20: For I fear that perhaps when I come I may find you not as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish--that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.

I lean towards "slanderous whispering".

Strong has the word for gossip, psithurismos, "From a derivative of psithos (a whisper; by implication a slander; probably akin to pseudomai); whispering, that is, secret detraction: - whispering.

pseudomai: Middle voice of an apparently primary verb; to utter an untruth or attempt to deceive by falsehood: - falsely, lie.

Hope this helped.

Stand in His grace,

WOS
