Proverbs 10: 8If you have good sense, you will listen and obey; if all you do is talk, you will destroy yourself. (CEV)

Proverbs 23: 23Invest in truth and wisdom, discipline and good sense, and don't part with them. (CEV)

Proverbs 18: 21Words can bring death or life! Talktoo much, and you will eat everything you say. (CEV)

Hebrews 1: 1 Long ago in many ways and at many times God's prophets spoke his message to our ancestors. 2But nowatlast, God sent his Son to bring his message to us. God created the universeby his Son, and everything will someday belong to the Son. 3God'sSon has all the brightness of God's own glory and is like him in everyway.By his own mighty word, he holds the universe together. (CEV)

Colossians 3: 12God loves you and has chosen you ashis own special people. So be gentle, kind, humble, meek, and patient.13 Putup with each other, and forgive anyone who does you wrong, just as Christ has forgiven you. (CEV)

James 3: 3 My friends, we should not all try to become teachers. In fact, teachers will be judged more strictly than others. 2Allof us do many wrong things. But if you can control your tongue, you aremature and able to control your whole body.3By puttinga bitinto the mouth of a horse, we can turn the horse in different directions. 4Ittakes strong winds to move a large sailing ship, but the captain uses onlya small rudder to make it go in any direction. 5Our tongues are small too, and yet they brag about big things. It takes only a sparkto start a forest fire. (CEV)

James 3: 13Are any of you wise or sensible? Then show it by living right and by being humble and wise in everything you do. 14Butif your heart is full of bitter jealousy and selfishness, don't brag orlie to cover up the truth. 15That kind of wisdom doesn't comefrom above. It is earthly and selfish and comes from the devil himself. 16Wheneverpeople are jealous or selfish, they cause trouble and do all sorts of cruelthings.
    17But the wisdom that comes from aboveleads us to be pure, friendly, gentle, sensible, kind, helpful, genuine,and sincere. 18When peacemakers plant seeds of peace, they willharvest justice. (CEV)
