But now here are the kinds of things you must also get rid of. You must get rid of anger, rage, hate and lies. Let no dirty words come out of your mouths.

Don’t let any evil talk come out of your mouths. Say only what will help to build others up and meet their needs. Then what you say will help those who listen.

And how about ships? They are very big. They are driven along by strong winds. But they are steered by a very small rudder. It makes them go where the captain wants to go.In the same way, the tongue is a small part of a person’s body. But it talks big. Think about how a small spark can set a big forest on fire.The tongue is also a fire. The tongue is the most evil part of the body. It makes the whole body impure. It sets a person’s whole way of life on fire. And the tongue itself is set on fire by hell.People have tamed all kinds of wild animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures. And they still tame them.But no one can tame the tongue. It is an evil thing that never rests. It is full of deadly poison.

So let us never stop offering to God our praise through Jesus. Let us talk openly about our faith in him. Then our words will be like an offering to God.

The tongues of wise people use knowledge well. But the mouths of foolish people pour out foolish words.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.Let them sacrifice thank offerings. Let them talk about what he has done as they sing with joy.

Lord, it is good to praise you. Most High God, it is good to make music to honor you.

You must help us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because of what will happen to us. They will thank God for his kindness to us in answer to the prayers of many.

Let us give thanks to God for his gift. It is so great that no one can tell how wonderful it really is!

They speak empty, bragging words. They make their appeal to the evil desires that come from sin’s power. They tempt new believers who are just escaping from the company of sinful people.

At first what they say is foolish. In the end their words are very evil.

Adultery, greed, hate and cheating come from a person’s heart too. So do desires that are not pure, and wanting what belongs to others. And so do telling lies about others and being proud and being foolish.

You nest of poisonous snakes! How can you who are evil say anything good? Your mouths say everything that is in your hearts.A good man says good things. These come from the good that is stored up inside him. An evil man says evil things. These come from the evil that is stored up inside him.But here is what I tell you. On judgment day, everyone will have to account for every empty word they have spoken.By your words you will be found guilty or not guilty.”

Don’t worry about anything. No matter what happens, tell God about everything. Ask and pray, and give thanks to him.

Let the peace that Christ gives rule in your hearts. As parts of one body, you were appointed to live in peace. And be thankful.Let the message about Christ live among you like a rich treasure.

Sing to God with thanks in your hearts.Do everything you say or do in the name of the Lord Jesus. Always give thanks to God the Father through Christ.

Give thanks no matter what happens. God wants you to thank him because you believe in Christ Jesus.

But these people say evil things against whatever they don’t understand. And the very things they do understand will destroy them. That’s because they are like wild animals that can’t think for themselves. Instead, they do what comes naturally to them.

Then some boats arrived from Tiberias. It was near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.

They didn’t think it was important to know God. So God let them continue to have evil thoughts. They did things they shouldn’t do.

You who are godly, sing with joy to the Lord. It is right for honest people to praise him.

They are like wild waves of the sea. Their shame rises up like foam. They are like falling stars. God has reserved a place of very black darkness for them forever.

Because of the authority Christ has given me, I could be bold. I could order you to do what you should do anyway.

How can we thank God enough for you? We thank God because of all the joy we have in his presence. We have this joy because of you.

Daniel found out that the king had signed the order. In spite of that, he did just as he had always done before. He went home to his upstairs room. Its windows opened toward Jerusalem. He went to his room three times a day to pray. He got down on his knees and gave thanks to his God.

Wise people keep their knowledge to themselves. But the hearts of foolish people shout foolish things.

I have not stopped thanking God for you. I always remember you in my prayers.
