雅各書 3:1
- 12
Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.
Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.
Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind,
but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God's likeness.
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
我的弟兄們，不要多人作師傅，因為曉得我們要受更重的判斷。
原來我們在許多事上都有過失；若有人在話語上沒有過失，他就是完全人，也能勒住自己的全身。
我們若把嚼環放在馬嘴裡，叫他順服，就能調動他的全身。
看哪，船隻雖然甚大，又被大風催逼，只用小小的舵，就隨著掌舵的意思轉動。
這樣，舌頭在百體裡也是最小的，卻能說大話。看哪，最小的火能點著最大的樹林。
舌頭就是火，在我們百體中，舌頭是個罪惡的世界，能污穢全身，也能把生命的輪子點起來，並且是從地獄裡點著的。
各類的走獸，飛禽，昆蟲，水族，本來都可以制伏，也已經被人制伏了；
惟獨舌頭沒有人能制伏，是不止息的惡物，滿了害死人的毒氣。
我們用舌頭頌讚那為主、為父的，又用舌頭咒詛那照著神形像被造的人；
頌讚和咒詛從一個口裡出來！我的弟兄們，這是不應當的！
泉源從一個眼裡能發出甜苦兩樣的水嗎？
我的弟兄們，無花果樹能生橄欖嗎？葡萄樹能結無花果嗎？鹹水裡也不能發出甜水來。
箴言 26:28
A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
虛謊的舌恨他所壓傷的人；諂媚的口敗壞人的事。
箴言 29:20
Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.
你見言語急躁的人嗎？愚昧人比他更有指望。
箴言 17:27

We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
原來我們在許多事上都有過失；若有人在話語上沒有過失，他就是完全人，也能勒住自己的全身。
箴言 27:2
Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips.
要別人誇獎你，不可用口自誇；等外人稱讚你，不可用嘴自稱。
羅馬書 12:14
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
逼迫你們的，要給他們祝福；只要祝福，不可咒詛。
約翰福音 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

詩篇 39:1
I said, "I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth while in the presence of the wicked."
（大衛的詩，交與伶長耶杜頓。）我曾說：我要謹慎我的言行，免得我舌頭犯罪；惡人在我面前的時候，我要用嚼環勒住我的口。
箴言 15:2
The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.

馬太福音 12:34
You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
毒蛇的種類！你們既是惡人，怎能說出好話來呢？因為心裡所充滿的，口裡就說出來。

你們必曉得真理，真理必叫你們得以自由。」

謹守口的，得保生命；大張嘴的，必致敗亡。
彼得前書 3:15
- 16
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
只要心裡尊主基督為聖。有人問你們心中盼望的緣由，就要常作準備，以溫柔、敬畏的心回答各人；
存著無虧的良心，叫你們在何事上被毀謗，就在何事上可以叫那誣賴你們在基督裡有好品行的人自覺羞愧。
詩篇 37:30

They will do no wrong; they will tell no lies. A deceitful tongue will not be found in their mouths. They will eat and lie down and no one will make them afraid."
Sing, Daughter Zion; shout aloud, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem!
以色列所剩下的人必不作罪孽，不說謊言，口中也沒有詭詐的舌頭；而且吃喝躺臥，無人驚嚇。
錫安的民哪，應當歌唱！以色列啊，應當歡呼！耶路撒冷的民哪，應當滿心歡喜快樂！
撒迦利亞書 8:16
These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts;
