Keeping Secrets

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

A gossip reveals a secret, but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.

So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known. …

He who guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from distress.

Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.

But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.

For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.

Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.

…on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.
