生死在舌頭的權下，喜愛它的，必吃它所結的果子。

愚昧人的口自取敗壞；他的嘴是他生命的網羅。

原來我們在許多事上都有過失；若有人在話語上沒有過失，他就是完全人，也能勒住自己的全身。我們若把嚼環放在馬嘴裏，叫牠順服，就能調動牠的全身。看哪，船隻雖然甚大，又被大風催逼，只用小小的舵，就隨着掌舵的意思轉動。這樣，舌頭在百體裏也是最小的，卻能說大話。看哪，最小的火能點着最大的樹林。舌頭就是火，在我們百體中，舌頭是個罪惡的世界，能污穢全身，也能把生命的輪子點起來，並且是從地獄裏點着的。各類的走獸、飛禽、昆蟲、水族，本來都可以制伏，也已經被人制伏了；惟獨舌頭沒有人能制伏，是不止息的惡物，滿了害死人的毒氣。我們用舌頭頌讚那為主、為父的，又用舌頭咒詛那照着神形像被造的人。頌讚和咒詛從一個口裏出來！我的弟兄們，這是不應當的！泉源從一個眼裏能發出甜苦兩樣的水嗎？我的弟兄們，無花果樹能生橄欖嗎？葡萄樹能結無花果嗎？鹹水裏也不能發出甜水來。

多言多語難免有過；禁止嘴唇是有智慧。

我曾說：我要謹慎我的言行，免得我舌頭犯罪；惡人在我面前的時候，我要用嚼環勒住我的口。

惡人嘴中的過錯是自己的網羅；但義人必脫離患難。

往來傳舌的，洩漏密事；大張嘴的，不可與他結交。

我又告訴你們，凡人所說的閒話，當審判的日子，必要句句供出來；因為要憑你的話定你為義，也要憑你的話定你有罪。」

若有人自以為虔誠，卻不勒住他的舌頭，反欺哄自己的心，這人的虔誠是虛的。
