11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
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.
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
4 The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
