21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.
5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!
20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
15 There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.
4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
8 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
8 Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.
36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,
18 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense.
29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.
12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?
3 Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;
24 for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
