Gossip

An easy way to comprehend the sin of gossip is to consider the reason I would tell someone something about you. If they are (or could be) part of the problem or part of the solution --- then telling them or talking to them about your problem is appropriate. Otherwise, it is the sin of gossip. And it is a sin against you.
