²⁶ If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

²⁹ 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.

³ Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

¹⁰ For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

19 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

⁴ Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

¹³ Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

³¹ The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

⁶ Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

¹⁹ In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
