- When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their many words.
- Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. - O give thanks to the Lord; call on his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples. - So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose
and succeed in the thing for which I sent it. - Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
but only in expressing personal opinion. - Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue. - With their mouths the godless would destroy their neighbors,
but by knowledge the righteous are delivered. - A fool’s lips bring strife,
and a fool’s mouth invites a flogging. - In all toil there is profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty. - Anxiety weighs down the human heart,
but a good word cheers it up. - If any think they are religious and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless.
- If I speak in the tongues of humans and of angels but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
- Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking deceit. - And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
- Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness; rather, expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly.
- It is honorable to refrain from strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel. - While I kept silent, my body wasted away
through my groaning all day long. - The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse. - Put away from you crooked speech,
and put devious talk far from you. - Let your word be ‘Yes, Yes’ or ‘No, No’; anything more than this comes from the evil one.
- But as for you, teach what is consistent with sound instruction.
- By the word of the Lord the heavens were made
and all their host by the breath of his mouth. - 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.”
- When they bring you to trial and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you at that time, for it is not you who speak but the Holy Spirit.
