保守自己的口与舌的，就保守自己的灵魂免受患难。

生与死都在舌头的权下；喜爱它的必食其果。

愚昧人的口导致自己的败亡，他的嘴成为自己灵魂的陷阱。

实际上，我们每一个人在很多事上都会跌倒。如果有人在言语上不跌倒，这个人就是一个成熟的人，也能够克制全身。我们如果把嚼子放在马嘴里，使它们服从，就可以驾驭它们的全身。再看船只，虽然它那么大，又被狂风吹逐，但是无论舵手的意图想去哪里，它都能被小小的舵来驾驭。照样，舌头虽然是身体上一个小小的部分，却能大大地自夸。看哪，那么小的火，能点燃那么大的森林！舌头是火，它在我们身体的各部分中，是个不公义的世界；它玷污全身，焚烧人生的路程，而且自己却被地狱焚烧。原来，各类野兽、飞禽、爬行动物和水族都能被制伏，也已经被人类制伏了，可是没有人能制伏舌头；它是不止息的邪恶，充满着致死的毒。我们用这舌头颂赞我们的主——我们的父，又用这舌头来诅咒照着神的形像被造的人。颂赞和诅咒从同一张嘴里出来！我的弟兄们，这些事不应该如此！难道从同一个洞里涌出来的泉源，能又甜又苦吗？我的弟兄们，难道无花果树能结出橄榄，葡萄树能结出无花果吗？咸水也不能产生甜水。

多言多语，不免有过失；约束自己嘴唇的，是明智的人。

我说：“我要谨守我的道路，免得犯口舌之罪。恶人还在我面前的时候，我要用笼套约束我的口。”

嘴唇的过犯是恶人的陷阱，而义人必脱离患难。

到处搬弄是非的，泄露秘密；口无遮拦的人，你不可与他结交。

我告诉你们：人所说的每一句无益的话，在那审判的日子，句句都要做出交代，因为凭你的话，你将被称为义；也凭你的话，你将被定有罪。”

如果有人自以为是虔诚的，却不克制自己的舌头，反而欺骗自己的心，这个人的虔诚就是虚妄的。
