providing harmful information about a person, often spoken in whispers or in low voice, with the implication that such information is not widely known and therefore should presumably be kept secret—‘gossip.’ κἀγὼ εὑρεθῶ ὑμῖν … καταλαλιαί, ψιθυρισμοί ‘that I may find among you … slander and gossip’ 2 Cor 12:20.
