If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.

Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.

For the Scriptures say,“ If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies.

The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.”

In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire.And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.

“ If they sin against you— and who has never sinned?— you might become angry with them and let their enemies conquer them and take them captive to their land far away or near.

So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.

Not a single person on earth is always good and never sins.

As the Scriptures say,“ No one is righteous— not even one.

Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies!

Who can say,“ I have cleansed my heart; I am pure and free from sin”?

I have discovered this principle of life— that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong.

I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.

So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ.

“ If they sin against you— and who has never sinned?— you might become angry with them and let their enemies conquer them and take them captive to a foreign land far away or near.

The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.

For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws.
