Keeping Our Lips In Check

"Have You Heard?" LilKittyGraphics


  1. In the heat of anger
    (Proverbs 14:17) He that is quick to anger will commit foolishness, but the man of thinking abilities is hated.
  2. When you don't have all the facts
    (Proverbs 18:13) When anyone is replying to a matter before he hears [it], that is foolishness on his part and a humiliation.
  3. When you haven't verified the story
    (Deuteronomy 17:6) At the mouth of two witnesses or of three witnesses the one dying should be put to death. He will not be put to death at the mouth of one witness.
  4. If your words will offend a weaker person
    (1 Corinthians 8:11) Really, by your knowledge, the man that is weak is being ruined, [your] brother for whose sake Christ died.
  5. When it is time to listen
    (Proverbs 13:1) A son is wise where there is a father's discipline, but the ridiculer is one that has not heard rebuke.
  6. When you are tempted to make light of holy things
    (Ecclesiastes 5:2) Do not hurry yourself as regards your mouth; and as for your heart, let it not be hasty to bring forth a word before the [true] God. For the [true] God is in the heavens but you are on the earth. That is why your words should prove to be few.
  7. When you are tempted to joke about sin
    (Proverbs 14:9) Foolish are those who make a derision of guilt, but among the upright ones there is agreement.
  8. If you would be ashamed of your words later
    (Proverbs 8:8) All the sayings of my mouth are in righteousness. Among them there is nothing twisted or crooked.
  9. If your words would convey the wrong impression
    (Proverbs 17:27) Anyone holding back his sayings is possessed of knowledge, and a man of discernment is cool of spirit.
  10. If the issue is none of your business
    (Proverbs 14:10) The heart is aware of the bitterness of one's soul, and with its rejoicing no stranger will intermeddle.
  11. When you are tempted to tell an outright lie
    (Proverbs 4:24) Remove from yourself the crookedness of speech; and the deviousness of lips put far away from yourself.
  12. If your words will damage someone else's reputation
    Proverbs 16:27) A good-for-nothing man is digging up what is bad, and upon his lips there is, as it were, a scorching fire.
  13. If your words will damage a friendship
    (Proverbs 16:28) A man of intrigues keeps sending forth contention, and a slanderer is separating those familiar with one another.
  14. When you are feeling critical
    (James 3:9) With it we bless Jehovah, even [the] Father, and yet with it we curse men who have come into existence "in the likeness of God."
  15. If you can't say it without screaming it
    (Proverbs 25:28) As a city broken through, without a wall, is the man that has no restraint for his spirit.
  16. If your words will be a poor reflection of Christ or your friends and family
    (1 Peter 2:21-23) In fact, to this [course] YOU were called, because even Christ suffered for YOU, leaving YOU a model for YOU to follow his steps closely. 22 He committed no sin, nor was deception found in his mouth. 23 When he was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return. When he was suffering, he did not go threatening, but kept on committing himself to the one who judges righteously.
  17. If you may have to eat your words later
    (Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and he that is loving it will eat its fruitage.
  18. If you have already said it more than one time
    (Proverbs 19:13) A stupid son means adversities to his father, and the contentions of a wife are as a leaking roof that drives one away.
  19. When you are tempted to flatter a wicked person
    (Proverbs 24:24) He that is saying to the wicked one: "You are righteous," the peoples will execrate him, national groups will denounce him.
  20. When you are supposed to be working instead
    (Proverbs 14:23) By every kind of toil there comes to be an advantage, but merely the word of the lips [tends] to want.
    And a good final reminder:
    Proverbs 21:23) He that is keeping his mouth and his tongue is keeping his soul from distresses.
