以弗所書 4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
污穢的言語一句不可出口,只要隨事說造就人的好話,叫聽見的人得益處。
雅各書 3:10
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
頌讚和咒詛從一個口裡出來!我的弟兄們,這是不應當的!
雅各書 5:12
Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear-not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple "Yes" or "No." Otherwise you will be condemned.
我的弟兄們,最要緊的是不可起誓;不可指著天起誓,也不可指著地起誓,無論何誓都不可起。你們說話,是,就說是;不是,就說不是,免得你們落在審判之下。
馬太福音 5:33
- 37
"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.'
But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne;
or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.
All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
「你們又聽見有吩咐古人的話,說:『不可背誓,所起的誓總要向主謹守。』
只是我告訴你們,什麼誓都不可起。不可指著天起誓,因為天是神的座位;
不可指著地起誓,因為地是他的腳凳;也不可指著耶路撒冷起誓,因為耶路撒冷是大君的京城;
又不可指著你的頭起誓,因為你不能使一根頭髮變黑變白了。
你們的話,是,就說是;不是,就說不是;若再多說,就是出於那惡者(或作就是從惡裡出來的)。」
馬太福音 5:22
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister 5:22Some manuscripts brother or sister without cause will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,'5:22An Aramaic term of contempt is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
只是我告訴你們:凡(有古卷在凡字下加:無緣無故地)向弟兄動怒的,難免受審判;凡罵弟兄是拉加的,難免公會的審斷;凡罵弟兄是魔利的,難免地獄的火。
馬太福音 12:34
- 37
You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
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。
善人從他心裡所存的善就發出善來;惡人從他心裡所存的惡就發出惡來。
我又告訴你們,凡人所說的閒話,當審判的日子,必要句句供出來;
因為要憑你的話定你為義,也要憑你的話定你有罪。」
出埃及記 20:7
"You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
「不可妄稱耶和華你神的名;因為妄稱耶和華名的,耶和華必不以他為無罪。
路加福音 6:45
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
善人從他心裡所存的善就發出善來;惡人從他心裡所存的惡就發出惡來;因為心裡所充滿的,口裡就說出來。」
羅馬書 3:14
"Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."
滿口是咒罵苦毒。
以弗所書 5:4
Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
淫詞、妄語,和戲笑的話都不相宜;總要說感謝的話。
雅各書 3:13
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
你們中間誰是有智慧有見識的呢?他就當在智慧的溫柔上顯出他的善行來。
