'Tongue' in the Bible

Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;

And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly.

And at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to speak in praise of God.

And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’

‘Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue exulted;Moreover my flesh also will live in hope;

For it is written,“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me,And every tongue shall give praise to God.”

For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church.

What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret;

and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!

And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.

But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.

For,“The one who desires life, to love and see good days,Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.

And they *sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.

And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people;
