Your

Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts;

Teaching them to your children, and talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up:

Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.

The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.

I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words.

You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.

Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.

My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.

Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.

Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

With my lips have I made clear all the decisions of your mouth.

The lips of the upright man give food to men, but the foolish come to death for need of sense.

A comforting tongue is a tree of life, but a twisted tongue is a crushing of the spirit.

The wise-hearted will be named men of good sense: and by pleasing words learning is increased.

Let your ear be bent down for hearing my words, and let your heart give thought to knowledge.

A word at the right time is like apples of gold in a network of silver.

The words of a wise man's mouth are sweet to all, but the lips of a foolish man are his destruction.

Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talk together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name.

You offspring of snakes, how are you, being evil, able to say good things? because out of the heart's store come the words of the mouth.

And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

Seasoned

And every meal offering is to be salted with salt; your meal offering is not to be without the salt of the agreement of your God: with all your offerings give salt.

So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.

You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.

Salt is good; but if the taste goes from it, how will you make it salt again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.

How

Do not give to the foolish man a foolish answer, or you will be like him.

And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.

But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;
