G2635–καταλαλέω–katalaleō

Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. The man who speaks evil of a brother-man or judges his brother-man speaks evil of the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are no longer one who obeys the Law, but one who judges it.

καταλαλεῖτε katalaleite “do speak against”καταλαλῶν katalalōn “speaking against”καταλαλεῖ katalalei “speaks against”

Live honourable lives among the Gentiles, in order that, although they now speak against you as evil-doers, they may yet witness your good conduct, and may glorify God on the day of reward and retribution.

καταλαλοῦσιν katalalousin “they speak against”

Yet argue modestly and cautiously, keeping your consciences free from guilt, so that, when you are spoken against, those who slander your good Christian lives may be put to shame.

καταλαλεῖσθε katalaleisthe “you are spoken against”
