If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Neither give place to the devil.

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.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

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

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
