1 Peter 2:1

For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances.

to lay aside, in reference to your former conduct, the old man, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,

Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

Let all bitterness and anger and wrath and shouting and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

Therefore, laying aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in gentleness receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

Do not slander one another, brothers. He who slanders a brother or judges his brother, slanders the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.
