For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips;

And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So is the tongue placed among our members, defiling the whole body, setting on fire the course of life, and being set on fire by hell.

For I fear, lest when I come I shall find you not, such as I wish, and I shall be found by you not such as you wish: lest there shall be contentions, envies, excitements, strife, evil speaking, whisperings, party spirit, disorderly conduct:

Let all bitterness and anger and wrath and clamor and impious speaking be put away from you, with all malice:

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile:

Therefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,

And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So is the tongue placed among our members, defiling the whole body, setting on fire the course of life, and being set on fire by hell.

Do not speak evil one of another, brethren. He that speaks evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law, and judges the law: but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

For I fear, lest when I come I shall find you not, such as I wish, and I shall be found by you not such as you wish: lest there shall be contentions, envies, excitements, strife, evil speaking, whisperings, party spirit, disorderly conduct:

as they were filled with all unrighteousness, lewdness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity;

If any one among you seems to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile:
