Matt 15:11 (ESV) It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person. Luke 6:28 Bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. Rom 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Matt 12:36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak. Phil 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth & the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock & my redeemer. Prov 15:4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life… — One thing for sure, we are not to let our words be full of curses & bitterness, but kindness & purity! God tells us that the wrath belongs to Him! So trust Him to defend! After all it is the tree of life! Love Mel
