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. {to...: or, to edify profitably}

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

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:

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Better {is} the poor that walketh in his integrity, than {he that is} perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips {is} wise.

Let your speech {be} alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same {is} a perfect man, {and} able also to bridle the whole body.

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. {seemeth...: or, thinketh that he hath}

There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof {are} the ways of death.

[To the chief Musician, {even} to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.] I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. {my mouth...: Heb. a bridle, or, muzzle for my mouth}

A man shall eat good by the fruit of {his} mouth: but the soul of the transgressors {shall eat} violence.

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof {are} the ways of death.

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching {for} doctrines the commandments of men.

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, {Is there} not a lie in my right hand?

But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed {to be somewhat} in conference added nothing to me:

He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; {it is} iniquity, even the solemn meeting. {iniquity: or, grief}

But in vain they do worship me, teaching {for} doctrines the commandments of men.

Ye have said, It {is} vain to serve God: and what profit {is it} that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? {ordinance: Heb. observation} {mournfully: Heb. in black}

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. {keep...: or, hold fast} {what: Gr. by what speech}

Be ye not as the horse, {or} as the mule, {which} have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. {poureth: Heb. belcheth, or, bubbleth}

A divine sentence {is} in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment. {A divine...: Heb. Divination}

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we {should go} unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if {it be} yet in vain. {so many: or, so great}

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same {is} a perfect man, {and} able also to bridle the whole body.

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: {but} he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

[To the chief Musician, {even} to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.] I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. {my mouth...: Heb. a bridle, or, muzzle for my mouth}

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

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:

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. {a froward...: Heb. frowardness of mouth and perverseness of lips}

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching {for} doctrines the commandments of men.

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it {was} an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

For {there is} not a word in my tongue, {but}, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

If any man speak, {let him speak} as the oracles of God; if any man minister, {let him do it} as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, {and} hating one another.

For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. {uttereth: Heb. teacheth}

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest {such} words go out of thy mouth?

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew {me}.

And if Christ be not risen, then {is} our preaching vain, and your faith {is} also vain.

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
