The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

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

Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
