| If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? – They provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. |
| Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. |
| A whisperer separateth chief friends. – There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. – The tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. … Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. |
| Put off … anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds. – This is the will of God, even your sanctification. – In their mouth was found no guile. |
