A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.1 – 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.2 – A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.3 – By thy words thou shalt be justified.4 – The tongue of the wise is health.5 |

If thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth.7 – Therefore, as ye abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, … see that ye abound in this grace also.8 |
