- The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
the mind of the wicked is of little worth. - 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 doctrine.
- By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and all their host by the breath of his mouth. - Lying lips conceal hatred,
and whoever utters slander is a fool. - 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. - I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured in my bosom the words of his mouth. - I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth. - 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. - Because no prophecy ever came by human will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
- 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.
- Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
- 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.
- Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
but those who act faithfully are his delight. - I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
- And you will say in that day:
Give thanks to the Lord,
call on his name;
make known his deeds among the nations;
proclaim that his name is exalted. - 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.
- I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. - The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body. - When they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness.
- You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you.
- Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I; send me!”
- But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
