10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.
6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
23 Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.
