But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or course joking, which are out of place but rather thanksgiving..

He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mouth, keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

Your good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
