For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear.Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives; those who open wide their lips come to ruin.He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but the prudent are restrained in speech.In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.

To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone, and a word in season, how good it is!A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

Hear Him!”

If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one.Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed from the housetops.Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
