Philippians 4:8

8 Furthermore brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things pertain to love, whatsoever things are of honest report, if there be any virtuous thing, if there be any laudable thing, those same have ye in your mind,

Romans 12:2

2 And fashion not yourselves like unto this world: But be changed through the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what thing that good, that acceptable, and perfect will of God is.

Ephesians 5:1-33

1 Be ye followers of God as dear children, 2 and walk in love even as Christ loved us, and gave himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet savour to God. 3 So that fornication, and all uncleanness or covetousness, be not once named among you, as it becometh saints: 4 neither filthiness, neither foolish talking, neither jestings, which are not comely: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, either unclean person, or covetous person, which is the worshipper of images, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words. For through such things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of unbelief. 7 Be not, therefore, companions with them. 8 Ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. 9 For the fruit of the spirit is, in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. 10 Accept that which is pleasing to the Lord, 11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather rebuke them. 12 For it is shame even to name those things which are done of them in secret: 13 but all things, when they are rebuked of the light, are manifest. For whatsoever is manifest, that same is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and stand up from death, and Christ shall give thee light." 15 Take heed therefore that ye walk circumspectly — not as fools, but as wise - 16 redeeming the time: for the days are evil. 17 Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be fulfilled with the spirit, 19 speaking unto yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, 20 giving thanks always for all things unto God the father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: 21 submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Women: submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the wife's head, even as Christ is the head of the congregation, and the same is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the congregation is in subjection to Christ, likewise let the wives be in subjection to their husbands in all things. 25 Husbands: love your wives, even as Christ loved the congregation, and gave himself for it, 26 to sanctify it, and cleansed it in the fountain of water through the word, 27 to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame. 28 So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet, hated his own flesh; but nourisheth, and cherisheth it: even as the Lord doth the congregation. 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall continue with his wife, and two shall be made one flesh." 32 This is a great secret, but I speak between Christ and the congregation. 33 Nevertheless, do ye so that every one of you love his wife truly even as himself: And let the wife see that she fear her husband.

James 5:12

12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not: neither by heaven, neither by earth, neither by any other oath. Let your yea be "yea," and your nay, "nay," lest ye fall into hypocrisy.

Matthew 12:36

36 But I say unto you, that of every idle word, that men shall have spoken, they shall give accounts at the day of judgment.

Matthew 15:11

11 That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not the man: but that which cometh out of the mouth, defileth the man."

James 3:10

10 Out of one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Ephesians 4:29

29 Let no filthy communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to edify withal, when need is, that it may have favour with the hearers.

Colossians 3:8

8 But now put ye also away from you all things; wrath, fierceness, maliciousness, cursed speaking, filthy speaking out of your mouths.
