- And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
- Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. - Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done. - So is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. - Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions. - Save me, Lord,
from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues. - With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors,
but through knowledge the righteous escape. - May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. - The lips of fools bring them strife,
and their mouths invite a beating. - All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty. - If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
- Anxiety weighs down the heart,
but a kind word cheers it up. - The lips of the righteous know what finds favor,
but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse. - And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
- Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies. - Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips. - It is to one’s honor to avoid strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel. - Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
- Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely. - The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
but the heart of the wicked is of little value. - When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long. - Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips
and spreads slander is a fool. - Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.
- For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
- Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.”
Bible verse of the day
Who is a God like you,who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.
