The words of a wise person win him favor, but the words of a fool are self-destructive.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but not so the heart of fools.

Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say anything good, since you are evil? For the mouth speaks from what fills the heart.The good person brings good things out of his good treasury, and the evil person brings evil things out of his evil treasury.I tell you that on the day of judgment, people will give an account for every worthless word they speak.For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

But now, put off all such things as anger, rage, malice, slander, abusive language from your mouth.Do not lie to one another since you have put off the old man with its practices

Like apples of gold in settings of silver, so is a word skillfully spoken.Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to the ear of the one who listens.

For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to control the entire body as well.And if we put bits into the mouths of horses to get them to obey us, then we guide their entire bodies.Look at ships too: Though they are so large and driven by harsh winds, they are steered by a tiny rudder wherever the pilot’s inclination directs.So too the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it has great pretensions. Think how small a flame sets a huge forest ablaze.And the tongue is a fire! The tongue represents the world of wrongdoing among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the entire body and sets fire to the course of human existence– and is set on fire by hell.For every kind of animal, bird, reptile, and sea creature is subdued and has been subdued by humankind.But no human being can subdue the tongue; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

The godly speak wise words and promote justice.The law of their God controls their thinking; their feet do not slip.

The evil person is ensnared by the transgression of his speech, but the righteous person escapes out of trouble.

The tongue of the wise treats knowledge correctly, but the mouth of the fool spouts out folly.The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on those who are evil and those who are good.Speech that heals is like a life-giving tree, but a perverse tongue breaks the spirit.

But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.Neither should there be vulgar speech, foolish talk, or coarse jesting– all of which are out of character– but rather thanksgiving.

In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven.

The speech of the righteous bears the fruit of wisdom, but the one who speaks perversion will be destroyed.The lips of the righteous know what is pleasing, but the speech of the wicked is perverse.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and exhorting one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with grace in your hearts to God.And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

The one who is wise in heart is called discerning, and kind speech increases persuasiveness.

All were speaking well of him, and were amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth. They said,“ Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

The sovereign LORD has given me the capacity to be his spokesman, so that I know how to help the weary. He wakes me up every morning; he makes me alert so I can listen attentively as disciples do.

A person has joy in giving an appropriate answer, and a word at the right time– how good it is!

Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver.

and maintain good conduct among the non- Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears.

If from a human point of view I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what did it benefit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.Do not be deceived:“ Bad company corrupts good morals.”

“ Their throats are open graves, they deceive with their tongues, the poison of asps is under their lips.”“ Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”

For they do not speak the truth; their stomachs are like the place of destruction, their throats like an open grave, their tongues like a steep slope leading into it.

O God, you have taught me since I was young, and I am still declaring your amazing deeds.Even when I am old and gray, O God, do not abandon me, until I tell the next generation about your strength, and those coming after me about your power.

Then those who respected the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD took notice. A scroll was prepared before him in which were recorded the names of those who respected the LORD and honored his name.“ They will belong to me,” says the LORD who rules over all,“ in the day when I prepare my own special property. I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.Then once more you will see that I make a distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not.

Their prosperity causes them to do wrong; their thoughts are sinful.They mock and say evil things; they proudly threaten violence.They speak as if they rule in heaven, and lay claim to the earth.

From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together through every supporting ligament. As each one does its part, the body grows in love.

These words I am commanding you today must be kept in mind,and you must teach them to your children and speak of them as you sit in your house, as you walk along the road, as you lie down, and as you get up.You should tie them as a reminder on your forearm and fasten them as symbols on your forehead.Inscribe them on the doorframes of your houses and gates.

All day long my tongue will also tell about your justice, for those who want to harm me will be embarrassed and ashamed.

You are the most handsome of all men! You speak in an impressive and fitting manner! For this reason God grants you continual blessings.

wild sea waves, spewing out the foam of their shame; wayward stars for whom the utter depths of eternal darkness have been reserved.Now Enoch, the seventh in descent beginning with Adam, even prophesied of them, saying,“ Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of his holy ones,to execute judgment on all, and to convict every person of all their thoroughly ungodly deeds that they have committed, and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”These people are grumblers and fault- finders who go wherever their desires lead them, and they give bombastic speeches, enchanting folks for their own gain.

to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ,

but in the church I want to speak five words with my mind to instruct others, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the LORD’s praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.He established a rule in Jacob; he set up a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors to make his deeds known to their descendants,

The beast was given a mouth speaking proud words and blasphemies, and he was permitted to exercise ruling authority for forty- two months.So the beast opened his mouth to blaspheme against God– to blaspheme both his name and his dwelling place, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

For by speaking high- sounding but empty words they are able to entice, with fleshly desires and with debauchery, people who have just escaped from those who reside in error.
