94. What is the teaching in the Bible regarding speech?
a. Let no bad language pass you lips, but only what is good and helpful, so that those who hear will benefit (cf Ephesians 4, 29).
b. Speak the truth in love and reject falsehood (cf Ephesians 4, 15, 25); “Let your Yes mean Yes, and your No mean No” (Matthew 5, 37); do not bear false witness, and do not join with others in spreading false rum ours (cf Exodus 20, 16; 23, 1).
c. Do not indulge in double talk (cf 1 Timothy 3, 8) or in slander (cf Titus 2, 3); do not speak evil of others (cf Titus 3, 2) or pronounce judgment on them (Matthew 7, 1).
d. Your speech should always be gracious (Colossians 4, 6). e. Your words and deeds should always be in harmony, unlike those of the Pharisees, who spoke but did not act (cf Matthew 23, 1-4). |
