And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 

Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. 

And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 

For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: 

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. 

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. 

He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips. 

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. 

A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. 

A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
