A WORD fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Proverbs 25:11
THE TONGUE: The PROMISE
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Proverbs 18:21
THE TEACHING
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.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians4:29,31,32
THE PLAN
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. ( deceitful words)
1 Peter 3:10
