Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.

The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.

In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

…but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
