1 Peter 3:10-11
For 'whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.'
James 3:5-6
Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it make great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire.......It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire.
Proverbs 12:14,20
From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him........There is ...... joy for those who promote peace.
Proverbs 18:21
The tongue has the power of life and death.
James 1:26
If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.
James 4:7
I am slow to speak, quick to hear, slow to anger
Psalm 19:14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones
Matthew 12:36
For every idle word man may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment
