  • Matthew 12:34-37
    Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
     
  • Titus 3:1-3
    Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
     
  • James 1:19
    So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
     
  • James 3:2
    For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
     
  • Proverbs 10:19
    In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
    But he who restrains his lips is wise.

     
  • Proverbs 17:27
    He who has knowledge spares his words,
    And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 5:2
    Do not be rash with your mouth,
    And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.
    For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
    Therefore let your words be few.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 12:14
    For God will bring every work into judgment,
    Including every secret thing,
    Whether good or evil.
     
  • James 3:6
    And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.
