Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue
Keepeth his soul from troubles.
The proud and haughty man, scorner is his name,
He worketh in the arrogance of pride.
Be not deceived: Evil company doth corrupt good manners.
Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:
But now put ye also away all these; anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:
Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.
For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:
