3  ^xSet a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;

^ykeep watch over the door of my lips!

---

3  If you, O Lord, should ^fmark iniquities,

O Lord, who could ^gstand?

---

33  for they ^fmade his spirit bitter,¹

and he ^gspoke rashly with his lips.

---

11 ^rit is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”

---

28  ^aA dishonest man spreads strife,

and ^ba whisperer ^cseparates close friends.

---

18  ^cThere is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,

but the tongue of the wise brings ^dhealing.

---

19  Truthful lips endure forever,

but ^ea lying tongue is but for a moment.

---

8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, ^kfull of deadly poison.

---

10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers,¹ these things ought not to be so.

---

8 But now ^qyou must put them all away: ^ranger, wrath, malice, ^sslander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

---

9 ^tDo not lie to one another, seeing that ^uyou have put off ^vthe old self¹ with its practices

---

3 For this is the will of God, ⁱyour sanctification:^{1 j}that you abstain from sexual immorality;

---

5 and ⁱin their mouth no lie was found, for they are ^jblameless.
