Proverbs 26:20

Gossip is the fuel of conflict. Remove it, and disputes die naturally. This is one of the most practical and actionable verses in Proverbs: if you want peace, stop the flow of negative talk. Communities, families, and friendships that refuse gossip find their conflicts diminishing.

Memory phrase: Stop gossip. Stop fighting.

Talk about it: How does gossip keep arguments going longer?

Prayer: God, help me never spread gossip.
