“In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you!”

“That there be no complaining in our streets. Happy is that people that is in such a case. Yes, happy is that people whose God is the Lord.”

“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.”

“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”

“For he that offers praise glorifies God.” “Let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay.” “For a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”

“Righteous lips are a delight of kings and they love him that speaks right.” “Put away from you a forward (or deceitful) mouth, and perverse (or devious) lips put far from you.”

“Whoso mocks the poor reproaches his Maker and he that is glad at calamities shall not go unpunished.” “Pleasant words are as a honey comb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones.”

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” “For a man has joy by the answer of his mouth and a word spoken in due season, how good it is.”

“But the tongue can no man tame, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren these things ought not so to be.”

“Does a fountain send forth out of the same place sweet water and bitter? … Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you, let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.”

“But if there be bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is there is confusion and every evil work.”

“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.”

“Let all bitterness, and wrath and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you with all malice. And be kind one to another, tender hearted forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.”

“And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becomes saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient; but rather giving of thanks.”

“Giving thanks always for all things with God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
