..."Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person."...
Ephesians 4:25-32
..."Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you."
..."Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing."...
James 1:19,21-23,25
..."This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God....
Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.
But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was....
But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does."...
