Bible Verses about Speaking

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues.In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word!A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; 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 in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the 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 are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
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.Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
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 them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
