Bible Verses about Speaking

  • The tongue has the power over life and death;
    those who cherish it will enjoy its fruits.
  • A good man produces good from the store of goodness in his heart, whereas an evil man produces evil from the store of evil within him. For the mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart.
  • Let no foul word ever pass your lips. Say only what is useful for edification, so that your words may benefit your listeners.
  • He who guards his mouth makes his life secure,
    but one who talks excessively ensures his own downfall.
  • Do not repay evil with evil or abuse with abuse. On the contrary, repay with a blessing. This is what you were called to do, so that you might inherit a blessing.
  • A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
    but an undisciplined tongue crushes the spirit.
  • I tell you that on the day of judgment people will have to render an account for every careless word they utter.
  • Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
    if he closes his lips, he is regarded as intelligent.
  • Where many words are spoken, sin is not absent,
    but whoever restrains his tongue is prudent.
  • Remember this, my beloved brethren: everyone should be quick to listen but slow to speak and slow to anger.
  • Speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves,
    and defend the rights of the destitute.
  • A man is joyful when he utters apt answers,
    and even more satisfying is a word in season.
  • A gentle reply turns away wrath,
    but a harsh word arouses anger.
  • Dear children,
    let us love not in word or speech
    but in deed and truth.
  • For all of us fall short in many ways. Anyone who never makes a mistake in speech has reached perfection and is able to control every part of his body.
  • The words of a wise man win favor,
    but a fool’s tongue is his undoing.
  • One who gossips reveals secrets,
    but a trustworthy man keeps things hidden.
  • Out of the same mouth flow blessings and curses. This should not be so, my brethren.
  • My mouth is filled with your praises
    as I relate your glory all day long.
  • If your brother wrongs you, go and take up the matter with him when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
  • Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops.
  • Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of your opportunity. Let your speech always be gracious and seasoned with wisdom, so that you will know how to respond properly to all.
  • If you confess with your lips, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
  • Plans miscarry when counsel is lacking,
    but they succeed when there are many counselors.
  • In the same way, even the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs that cannot be put into words.

When you pray do not go on babbling endlessly as the pagans do, for they believe that they are more likely to be heard because of their many words.
