But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
但現在你們要棄絕這一切的事,以及惱恨、忿怒、惡毒(或作:陰毒)、毀謗,並口中污穢的言語。

穿上了新人。這新人在知識上漸漸更新,正如造他主的形像。

入口的不能污穢人,出口的乃能污穢人。」
雅各書 3:5

箴言 15:4

彼得前書 3:7
- 12
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.
They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
你們作丈夫的,也要按情理﹝原文作知識﹞和妻子同住;因他比你軟弱,(比你軟弱:原文作是軟弱的器皿)與你一同承受生命之恩的,所以要敬重他。這樣,便叫你們的禱告沒有阻礙。
總而言之,你們都要同心,彼此體恤,相愛如弟兄,存慈憐謙卑的心。
不以惡報惡,以辱罵還辱罵,倒要祝福;因你們是為此蒙召,好叫你們承受福氣。
因為經上說:人若愛生命,願享美福,須要禁止舌頭不出惡言,嘴唇不說詭詐的話;
也要離惡行善;尋求和睦,一心追趕。
因為,主的眼看顧義人;主的耳聽他們的祈禱。惟有行惡的人,主向他們變臉。
詩篇 19:14
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

哥林多後書 6:3
- 10
We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.
Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;
in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger;
in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
我們凡事都不叫人有妨礙,免得這職分被人毀謗;
反倒在各樣的事上表明自己是神的用人,就如在許多的忍耐、患難、窮乏、困苦、
鞭打、監禁、擾亂、勤勞、警醒、不食、
廉潔、知識、恆忍、恩慈、聖靈的感化、無偽的愛心、
真實的道理、神的大能;仁義的兵器在左在右;
榮耀、羞辱,惡名、美名;似乎是誘惑人的,卻是誠實的;
似乎不為人所知,卻是人所共知的;似乎要死,卻是活著的;似乎受責罰,卻是不至喪命的;
似乎憂愁,卻是常常快樂的;似乎貧窮,卻是叫許多人富足的;似乎一無所有,卻是樣樣都有的。
箴言 11:9
With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape.

- 23
He went on: "What comes out of a person is what defiles them.
For it is from within, out of a person's heart, that evil thoughts come-sexual immorality, theft, murder,
adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
All these evils come from inside and defile a person."
又說:「從人裡面出來的,那才能污穢人;
因為從裡面,就是從人心裡,發出惡念、苟合、
偷盜、兇殺、姦淫、貪婪、邪惡、詭詐、淫蕩、嫉妒、謗讟、驕傲、狂妄。
這一切的惡都是從裡面出來,且能污穢人。」
羅馬書 12:17
- 18
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
不要以惡報惡;眾人以為美的事要留心去做。
若是能行,總要盡力與眾人和睦。

Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
但要遠避世俗的虛談,因為這等人必進到更不敬虔的地步。
提多書 2:12
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,

申命記 5:20
"You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
「『不可作假見證陷害人。
哥林多前書 13:1
- 13
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
我若能說萬人的方言,並天使的話語,卻沒有愛,我就成了鳴的鑼,響的鈸一般。
我若有先知講道之能,也明白各樣的奧秘,各樣的知識,而且有全備的信,叫我能夠移山,卻沒有愛,我就算不得什麼。
我若將所有的賙濟窮人,又捨己身叫人焚燒,卻沒有愛,仍然與我無益。
愛是恆久忍耐,又有恩慈;愛是不嫉妒;愛是不自誇,不張狂,
不做害羞的事,不求自己的益處,不輕易發怒,不計算人的惡,
不喜歡不義,只喜歡真理;
凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐。
愛是永不止息。先知講道之能終必歸於無有;說方言之能終必停止;知識也終必歸於無有。
我們現在所知道的有限,先知所講的也有限,
等那完全的來到,這有限的必歸於無有了。
我作孩子的時候,話語像孩子,心思像孩子,意念像孩子,既成了人,就把孩子的事丟棄了。
我們如今彷彿對著鏡子觀看,模糊不清(原文作如同猜謎);到那時就要面對面了。我如今所知道的有限,到那時就全知道,如同主知道我一樣。
如今常存的有信,有望,有愛這三樣,其中最大的是愛。
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!
申命記 5:11
"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。
詩篇 51:10
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
神啊,求你為我造清潔的心,使我裡面重新有正直(或作:堅定)的靈。

馬太福音 18:15

If they listen to you, you have won them over.
「倘若你的弟兄得罪你,你就去,趁著只有他和你在一處的時候,指出他的錯來。他若聽你,你便得了你的弟兄;
羅馬書 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
不要效法這個世界,只要心意更新而變化,叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。
提摩太後書 1:7
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
因為神賜給我們,不是膽怯的心,乃是剛強、仁愛、謹守的心。
彼得前書 3:13
- 15
Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear their threats ; do not be frightened."
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,
你們若是熱心行善,有誰害你們呢?
你們就是為義受苦,也是有福的。不要怕人的威嚇,也不要驚慌;(的威嚇:或作所怕的)
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;
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。
羅馬書 14:10
- 12
You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister ? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.' "
So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
你這個人,為什麼論斷弟兄呢?又為什麼輕看弟兄呢?因我們都要站在神的臺前。
經上寫著:主說:我憑著我的永生起誓:萬膝必向我跪拜;萬口必向我承認。
這樣看來,我們各人必要將自己的事在神面前說明。
以弗所書 5:22
- 25
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
你們作妻子的,當順服自己的丈夫,如同順服主。
因為丈夫是妻子的頭,如同基督是教會的頭;他又是教會全體的救主。
教會怎樣順服基督,妻子也要怎樣凡事順服丈夫。
你們作丈夫的,要愛你們的妻子,正如基督愛教會,為教會捨己。
歌羅西書 3:15
- 17
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
又要叫基督的平安在你們心裡作主;你們也為此蒙召,歸為一體;且要存感謝的心。
當用各樣的智慧,把基督的道理豐豐富富的存在心裡,(或作:當把基督的道理豐豐富富的存在心裡,以各樣的智慧),用詩章、頌詞、靈歌,彼此教導,互相勸戒,心被恩感,歌頌神。
無論做什麼,或說話或行事,都要奉主耶穌的名,藉著他感謝父神。
馬太福音 6:14
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
你們饒恕人的過犯,你們的天父也必饒恕你們的過犯;
