Bible verses about "lips" | Anderson

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, so that he will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹ Be you, therefore, imitators of God, as beloved children; ² and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave him self for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor. ³ But lewdness, and all manner of uncleanness, or covetousness, let them not be named among you, as it becomes saints; ⁴ nor obscene language, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not becoming; but rather the cheerful words of. a thankful heart. ⁵ For you know this, that no lewd nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and of God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words: for on account of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. ⁷ Therefore, be not partakers with them. ⁸ For you were formerly darkness; but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light; ⁹ (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) ¹⁰ learning what is acceptable to the Lord; ¹¹ and do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; ¹² for it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by them in secret. ¹³ But all these works, when reproved, are made manifest by the light: for every thing that makes manifest is light. ¹⁴ Wherefore, the scripture says: Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light. ¹⁵ See, then, that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise men, ¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Wherefore, be not ignorant, but understand what the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit; ¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, ²⁰ giving thanks to our God and Father always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; ²¹ being subject one to another in the fear of God. ²² Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord: ²³ for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of water through the word, ²⁷ in order that he might present it to himself a glorious church, having neither stain, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; ²⁹ for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Christ the church: ³⁰ because we are members of his body, being of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. ³² Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church. ³³ But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.

¹ My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. ² For in many things we all offend. If any one offends not in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. ³ Behold, we put bits into horses mouths that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body. ⁴ Behold also the ships, which are very great, and are driven by violent winds; yet they are turned about by a very small helm, to whatever point the will of him that directs it may determine. ⁵ So, also, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a forest does a little fire set in a blaze. ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So is the tongue placed among our members, defiling the whole body, setting on fire the course of life, and being set on fire by hell. ⁷ For every kind of beasts and of birds, of creeping things and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by man: ⁸ but the tongue no man can tame; it is an unruly evil; it is full of deadly poison. ⁹ With it we bless God, even the Father: and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God. ¹⁰ Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not so to be. ¹¹ Does a fountain send forth from the same cavern sweet water and bitter? ¹² Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olives, or the vine, figs? So no fountain can produce salt water and fresh. ¹³ Who is wise and discreet among you? Let him show, by a good behavior, his works, with the meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom comes not from above, but is earthly, animal, demoniac. ¹⁶ For where envy and strife are, there is commotion, and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And those who cultivate peace, sow for themselves a harvest of righteousness in peace.

¹⁵ Through him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name.

²⁹ Let no impure speech come out of your mouth, but whatever is good for needful edification, that it may give grace to the hearers:
