For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; / Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
