From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled; with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:20, 21 NIV).
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. (Ephesians 4:29 NIV).
But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. (Matthew 15:18 NIV).
The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. (Proverbs 12:18, 19 NIV).
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. (Proverbs 15:1, 2 NIV).
The words we say should be love and God alone. Nothing we say should be able to be turned against us. God will give us the words! We think Jesus is great and everyone is made in His image so we should speak lovingly to them also!
