- Lying lips conceal hatred,
and whoever utters slander is a fool. - If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless.
- But as for you, teach what is consistent with sound doctrine.
- Speak out, judge righteously,
defend the rights of the poor and needy. - For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.
- Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. - Jesus answered them, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.”
- Above all, my beloved, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “Yes” be yes and your “No” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.
- In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears. - I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured in my bosom the words of his mouth. - Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
- By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and all their host by the breath of his mouth. - Fine speech is not becoming to a fool;
still less is false speech to a ruler. - Because no prophecy ever came by human will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
- I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth. - Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
but those who act faithfully are his delight. - I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. - If you refrain from trampling the sabbath,
from pursuing your own interests on my holy day;
if you call the sabbath a delight
and the holy day of the Lord honorable;
if you honor it, not going your own ways,
serving your own interests, or pursuing your own affairs;
then you shall take delight in the Lord,
and I will make you ride upon the heights of the earth;
I will feed you with the heritage of your ancestor Jacob,
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. - Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with whatever I have.
- You may say to yourself, “How can we recognize a word that the Lord has not spoken?” If a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord but the thing does not take place or prove true, it is a word that the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; do not be frightened by it.
- But Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”
- Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
- Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.”
- I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
- If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive.
