Bible verses about "lips" | Noyes

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹ Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; ² and walk in love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you an offering and a sacrifice to God, of a sweet odor. ³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints, ⁴ neither obscenity, nor foolish talking, nor indecent jesting, which are not becoming; but rather giving of thanks. ⁵ For of this ye are sure, since ye know that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words; for because of these things the wrath of God cometh upon the sons of disobedience. ⁷ Be not therefore partakers with them. ⁸ For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, ⁹ for the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth, ¹⁰ proving what is acceptable to the Lord; ¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them. ¹² For the things done in secret by them it is a shame even to speak of. ¹³ But all things, when reproved, are made manifest by the light; for whatever maketh manifest is light. ¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light." ¹⁵ See then that ye walk circumspectly; not as unwise men, but as wise; ¹⁶ buying up for yourselves opportunities, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Wherefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled with the Spirit, ¹⁹ speaking to one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; ²⁰ giving thanks always for all things to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ. ²² Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord; ²³ for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church,he, who is the Saviour of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of the water in the word; ²⁷ that he himself might present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ In like manner husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself; ²⁹ for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ doth the church; 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 cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh." ³² This mystery is a great one; but I am speaking of Christ and of the church. ³³ However, do ye also severally love each one his own 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 offend not in speech, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. ³ For when we put the bits into the horses mouths, that they may obey us, we turn about also their whole body. ⁴ Behold also the ships, which, though they are so great, and driven by fierce winds, are yet turned about with a very small rudder, whithersoever the steersman chooseth. ⁵ So also the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a forest a little fire kindleth! ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity! The tongue among our members is that which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of life, and is itself set on fire by hell. ⁷ For every kind of beasts and of birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed and hath been tamed by mankind; ⁸ but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. ⁹ Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men, who have been made after the likeness of God; ¹⁰ out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. ¹¹ Doth a fountain from the same opening send forth sweet water and bitter? ¹² Can a figtree, my brethren, bear olives, or a vine, figs? Neither can salt water yield fresh. ¹³ Who is wise and endued with knowledge among you P let him show out of a good course of conduct his works in meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter rivalry and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom is not that which descendeth from above, but earthly, sensual, devilish. ¹⁶ For where there is rivalry and strife, there is confusion and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

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

²⁹ Let no foul language proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is good for edification, as the need may be, that it may benefit the hearers;
