all the judgments from Your mouth.

The tongue of the righteous is pure silver;
the heart of the wicked is of little value.

For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to make the Gentiles obedient by word and deed,

No foul language is to come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear.

And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is set on fire by hell.
