The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even- tempered. (niv)

Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity. (niv)

Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues. (niv)

To answer before listening— that is folly and shame. (niv)

Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick- tempered displays folly. (niv)

Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. (niv)

“ In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, (niv)

Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self- control than one who takes a city. (niv)

A hot- tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel. (niv)

The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools. (niv)

But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. (niv)

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.A dream comes when there are many cares, and many words mark the speech of a fool. (niv)

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. (niv)

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. (niv)

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. (niv)

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (niv)

A quick- tempered person does foolish things, and the one who devises evil schemes is hated. (niv)

But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister,‘ Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says,‘ You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. (niv)

Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control. (niv)

The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. (niv)

Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out. (niv)

“ Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it.Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord. (niv)

And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. (niv)

idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factionsand envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. (niv)

Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words. (niv)

So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.” (niv)

A hot- tempered person must pay the penalty; rescue them, and you will have to do it again. (niv)

They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore you did not desert them, (niv)

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. (niv)

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. (niv)

Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. (niv)

I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. (niv)

As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath.When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. (niv)

Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. (niv)

They stood where they were and read from the Book of the Law of the Lord their God for a quarter of the day, and spent another quarter in confession and in worshiping the Lord their God. (niv)

So on the first day of the seventh month Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, which was made up of men and women and all who were able to understand.He read it aloud from daybreak till noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate in the presence of the men, women and others who could understand.

Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. (niv)

Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them.On the second day of the month, the heads of all the families, along with the priests and the Levites, gathered around Ezra the teacher to give attention to the words of the Law.They found written in the Law, which the Lord had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to live in temporary shelters during the festival of the seventh month (niv)
