Communication

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

• Salt

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

• PAUL
• Call

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you:

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

• Wisdom

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

• Gold

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
