Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing.

Words from the mouth of a wise person are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him;

The lips of the wise spread knowledge, But the hearts of fools are not so.

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, express any good things? For the mouth speaks from that which fills the heart.The good person brings out of his good treasure good things; and the evil person brings out of his evil treasure evil things.But I tell you that for every careless word that people speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment.For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

But now you also, rid yourselves of all of them: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene speech from your mouth.Do not lie to one another, since you stripped off the old self with its evil practices,

Like apples of gold in settings of silver, Is a word spoken at the proper time.Like an earring of gold and a jewelry piece of fine gold, Is a wise person who offers rebukes to a listening ear.

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to rein in the whole body as well.Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their whole body as well.Look at the ships too: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are nevertheless directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot determines.So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!And the tongue is a fire, the very world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set among our body’s parts as that which defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.But no one among mankind can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice.The Law of his God is in his heart; His steps do not slip.

An evil person is ensnared by the offense of his lips, But the righteous will escape from trouble.

The tongue of the wise makes knowledge pleasant, But the mouth of fools spouts foolishness.The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Watching the evil and the good.A soothing tongue is a tree of life, But perversion in it crushes the spirit.

But sexual immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among saints;and there must be no filthiness or foolish talk, or vulgar joking, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

The mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom, But the perverted tongue will be cut out.The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked, what is perverted.

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

The wise in heart will be called understanding, And sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.

And all the people were speaking well of Him, and admiring the gracious words which were coming from His lips; and yet they were saying,“ Is this not Joseph’s son?”

The Lord God has given Me the tongue of disciples, So that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

A person has joy in an apt answer, And how delightful is a timely word!

Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.

Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God on the day of visitation.

If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what good is it to me? If the dead are not raised, let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.Do not be deceived:“ Bad company corrupts good morals.”

“ Their throat is an open grave, With their tongues they keep deceiving,”“ The venom of asps is under their lips”;“ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”;

For there is nothing trustworthy in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue.

God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.And even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.

Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened attentively and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and esteem His name.“ And they will be Mine,” says the Lord of armies,“ on the day that I prepare My own possession, and I will have compassion for them just as a man has compassion for his own son who serves him.”So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart overflow.They mock and wickedly speak of oppression; They speak from on high.They have set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue parades through the earth.

from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.And you shall repeat them diligently to your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.You shall also tie them as a sign to your hand, and they shall be as frontlets on your forehead.You shall also write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

In the same way, you wives, be subject to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won over without a word by the behavior of their wives,

My tongue also will tell of Your righteousness all day long; For they are put to shame, for they are humiliated who seek my harm.

You are the most handsome of the sons of mankind; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.

wild waves of the sea, churning up their own shameful deeds like dirty foam; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.It was also about these people that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying,“ Behold, the Lord has come with many thousands of His holy ones,to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ;

nevertheless, in church I prefer to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

We will not conceal them from their children, But we will tell the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His power and His wondrous works that He has done.For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers That they were to teach them to their children,

A mouth was given to him speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty two months was given to him.And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

For, while speaking out arrogant words of no value they entice by fleshly desires, by indecent behavior, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error,
