The Bible is filled with verses that emphasize the power of our words and the importance of using our tongues wisely. Proverbs 18:21 states, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” Our words have the power to build up or tear down, to encourage or discourage, to bring life or death.
Bible Verses About The Tongue And Words
1. Proverbs 15:1 – “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
2. James 3:6 – “And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.”
3. Proverbs 21:23 – “Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.”
These verses serve as a reminder to be mindful of the words we speak and the impact they can have on ourselves and others. Let us strive to use our tongues to speak words of love, kindness, and encouragement. May our words be a reflection of the love and grace of God.
