Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue,
keepeth his soul from troubles.
Proud and haughty scorner is his name,
who dealeth in proud wrath.
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
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.
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
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:
