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.

A prudent man conceals knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.

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

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

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, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

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

Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven by fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by 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 behavior 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 have just escaped from them who live in error.

But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

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

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 proper;

Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you that which is required,

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, even 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 you righteous: for praise is fitting for the upright.

A Psalm or Song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto your name, O most High:

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

And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.

(However there came other boats from Tiberias near unto the place where they did eat bread, after the Lord had given thanks:)

You 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 anxious for nothing; but in everything 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 which also you are called in one body; and be thankful.

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

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

In everything 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.
