Backbiter, Backbiting:
katalalos, a "backbiter," and katalalia, "backbiting," are formed from kata, "against," and laleo, "to speak." Katalalos is used in Rom 1:30. Katalalia is translated "evil speaking" in 1Pe 2:1, "backbiting" in 2Cr 12:20.
Note: The corresponding verb katalaleo the RV translates "speak against," in its five occurrences, Jam 4:11 (three times); 1Pe 2:12, and 1Pe 3:16; AV, "speak evil," in all the passages except 1Pe 2:12.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
