For when you MUST say something

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. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Eph 4:29 – 32

Gracious words are honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Prov 16:24

Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble Prov 21:23

If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. James 1:26

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Psalm 141:3
