Proverbs 18:21
Please, do not finish them, Beloved sisters, brothers, Do not count the errors of others, Do not tear the garment from their shoulders.
Treasure it when a soul trusts you with its secrets, and opens its wounds to you in hiding from spiritual aesthetes.
Guard this silence as a treasure, as for heaven itself, without sworn promises and regardless of who stands before you.
And cunning gossip's tangled web will not then strangle the nearest, will not besmirch them with filth of offenses from excessive words...
Then, inflamed by demons, the tongue will lose its power, and as a mighty counterweight it will pull you from the grave...
Such are we, Christians, mired in the swamp of gossip, practically all—in deception, theoretically—in Light.
And I am guilty in this, I confess, and with my heart I beg forgiveness, for reaching toward the Heavenly we cannot do so without purification.
Please, do not kill, with words of deadly poison, preserve others as yourselves, we are all responsible for one another...
