TSK · James 1:26

when you turn your rage against God and allow such words to escape from your mouth?

Do not be like an unintelligent horse or mule, which will not obey you unless they are controlled by a bridle and bit.

For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of David. I decided,“I will watch what I say and make sure I do not sin with my tongue. I will put a muzzle over my mouth while in the presence of an evil man.”

When words abound, transgression is inevitable, but the one who restrains his words is wise.

From the fruit of his speech a person eats good things, but the treacherous desire the fruit of violence.

The tongue of the wise treats knowledge correctly, but the mouth of the fool spouts out folly.

There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way that leads to death.

and they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

So listen carefully, for whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him.”

and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you– unless you believed in vain.

Have you suffered so many things for nothing?– if indeed it was for nothing.

You must let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for the building up of the one in need, that it would give grace to those who hear.

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer everyone.

But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves.

For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to control the entire body as well.
