There is an eternal value to our words, by them we are justified or condemned.

MATTHEW 12:31-37 KJV

31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

MATTHEW 12:31-37 KJV (continued)

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

MATTHEW 12:31-37 KJV (continued)

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Psalm 39:1 KJV

39 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from

troubles.

Colossians 4:5-6 NLT

5 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be

gracious and attractive[a] so that you will have the right response for everyone.

Philippians 2:14-15 NLT

14 Do everything without complaining and arguing, 15 so that no one can

criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and

perverse people.

Proverbs 11:9-11 NLT

9 With their words, the godless destroy their friends,    but knowledge will rescue the righteous.10 The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed;    they shout for joy when the wicked die.11 Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper,    but the talk of the wicked tears it apart.
