My brothers, this should not be. A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even tempered. A fool's mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul. If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight reign on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Be ye holy in all manner of conversation.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Pleasant sights and good reports give happiness and health. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that is may benefit those who listen. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with very form of malice. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. You are What You Think, and What You Say is What You Get.
