19 Where there is much talk there will be no end to sin, but he who keeps his mouth shut does wisely.
13 He who goes about talking of others makes secrets public, but the true-hearted man keeps things covered.
22 Where there are no wise suggestions, purposes come to nothing; but by a number of wise guides they are made certain.
15 And if your brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.
7 And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those to whom it is dear will have its fruit for their food.
9 Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.
23 A man has joy in the answer of his mouth: and a word at the right time, how good it is!
1 O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
18 My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith.
3 He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.
8 Let your mouth be open for those who have no voice, in the cause of those who are ready for death.
3 So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops.
1 By a soft answer wrath is turned away, but a bitter word is a cause of angry feelings.
2 For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.
28 Even the foolish man, when he keeps quiet, is taken to be wise: when his lips are shut he is credited with good sense.
12 The words of a wise man's mouth are sweet to all, but the lips of a foolish man are his destruction.
36 And I say to you that in the day when they are judged, men will have to give an account of every foolish word they have said.
9 Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:
4 A comforting tongue is a tree of life, but a twisted tongue is a crushing of the spirit.
45 The good man, out of the good store of his heart, gives good things; and the evil man, out of his evil store, gives evil: for out of the full store of the heart come the words of the mouth.
26 And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;
8 My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the day.
19 You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;
29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.
