I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler!

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.

My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.

Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.”

I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.

Save me, Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.

A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.

The lips of the righteous know what finds favor, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.

In that day you will say: “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.”

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.

Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.

Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.

Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.

After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.

All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.

You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.

The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value.

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’

With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape.

Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads slander is a fool.

I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.

What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.

A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word!

But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
