TSK · James 1:26

That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?

Don't be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I don't sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."

In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things; but the unfaithful crave violence.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don't withhold.

He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can't deliver his soul, nor say, "Isn't there a lie in my right hand?"

And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'"

Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn't have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has."

by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.

But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn't show partiality to man)--they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

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

For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
