Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.
Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips.The words of a wise man's mouth win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him.
A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day.

Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time.

For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
