That pope knows me so well!

I gossip all the time. It's about all I do. The laundry goes unwashed. The kids are hungry and crying. My hubby has to pack his own lunch. I haven't seen the dog in a week and I don't care. I'm on the phone with my girlfriends and I will NOT be diverted. Bless me Father, for I have gossiped, and I have no plans to stop.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

You're safe if you believe the KJV. They eliminated the word 'gossips'.
They use 'whisperers'.

The New Catholic Bible (NCB) uses 'gossips'.
