A good man says good things. These come from the good that is stored up in his heart. An evil man says evil things. These come from the evil that is stored up in his heart. A person’s mouth says everything that is in their heart.

善人从他心里所存的善就发出善来；恶人从他心里所存的恶就发出恶来；因为心里所充满的，口里就说出来。”

善人从他心里所存的善发出善来，恶人从他所存的恶发出恶来；因为心里所充满的，口里就说出来。”

善人从他心里所存的善发出善来，恶人从他所存的恶发出恶来；因为心里所充满的，口里就说出来。”

善人心存良善，就从他里面发出良善；恶人心存邪恶，就从他里面发出邪恶。因为心里充满的，口里自然会说出来。

良善的人从心中所存的良善发出良善，邪恶的人从心中所存的邪恶发出邪恶；因为心中所充满的，口里就说出来。

好人从他心里所存的善，发出善来；坏人从他心里所存的恶，发出恶来；因为人心里所充满的，口里就说出来。

善人從他心裏所存的善就發出善來；惡人從他心裏所存的惡就發出惡來；因為心裏所充滿的，口裏就說出來。」

良善的人從心中所存的良善發出良善，邪惡的人從心中所存的邪惡發出邪惡；因為心中所充滿的，口裡就說出來。

善人由心裏的善之庫房裏拿出善來；惡人由邪惡之庫房裏拿出邪惡來；因為是由於心裏所充溢的，他的口就說出來。

好人從他心裡所存的善，發出善來；壞人從他心裡所存的惡，發出惡來；因為人心裡所充滿的，口裡就說出來。

善人由內蘊之善而發其善、惡人由內蘊之惡而發其惡、蓋充諸心者、即宣諸口也、○

善人心積善、而著其善、惡人心積惡、而著其惡、蓋有諸心者、言諸口也、○

善人由心所積之善發善、惡人由心所積之惡發惡、蓋充諸心者言諸口也、

善人心存乎善、發之亦善；惡人心存乎惡、發之亦惡；蓋心有所蘊、口則道之。

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.

A good person produces good out of the good stored up in his heart. An evil person produces evil out of the evil stored up in his heart, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

The good person out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

A good man produces good out of the good storeroom of his heart. An evil man produces evil out of the evil storeroom, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

The good person out of the good treasury of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury produces evil, for his mouth speaks from what fills his heart.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

Above everything else, guard your heart. Everything you do comes from it.

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.

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.”

Does anyone believe in me? Then, just as Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from inside them.”

The mouths of those who do what is right speak words of wisdom. They say what is honest.God’s law is in their hearts. Their feet do not slip.

They have sinned with their mouths. Their lips have spoken evil words. They have cursed me and lied. Let them be caught in their pride.

Let the message about Christ live among you like a rich treasure. Teach and correct one another wisely. Teach one another by singing psalms and hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing to God with thanks in your hearts.

The words of thoughtless people cut like swords. But the tongue of wise people brings healing.

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.

You plan ways to destroy others. Your tongue is like a blade that has a sharp edge. You are always telling lies.You love evil instead of good. You would rather lie than tell the truth.You love to harm others with your words, you liar!

The tongues of those who do right are like fine silver. But the hearts of those who do wrong aren’t worth very much.The words of those who do right benefit many people. But those who are foolish die because they have no sense.

“ Their throats are like open graves. With their tongues they tell lies.”( Psalm 5:9)“ The words from their lips are like the poison of a snake.”( Psalm 140:3)“ Their mouths are full of curses and bitterness.”( Psalm 10:7)

Let the words you speak always be full of grace. Learn how to make your words what people want to hear. Then you will know how to answer everyone.

Everyone tells lies to their neighbors. With their lips they praise others, but they don’t really mean it.May the Lord close all lips that don’t mean what they say. May he stop every tongue that brags.They say,“ What we speak with our tongues will win the battle. What we say with our lips will keep us safe. No one will have victory over us.”

My God, I have come to do what you want. Your law is in my heart.”I have told the whole community of those who worship you. I have told them what you have done to save me. Lord, you know that I haven’t kept quiet.I haven’t kept to myself that what you did for me was right. I have spoken about how faithful you were when you saved me. I haven’t hidden your love and your faithfulness from the whole community.

When one of them comes to see me, he says things that aren’t true. At the same time, he thinks up lies to tell against me. Then he goes out and spreads those lies around.All my enemies whisper to each other about me. They want something terrible to happen to me.

I wish I had somewhere to go in the desert where a traveler could stay! Then I could leave my people. I could get away from them. All of them commit adultery by worshiping other gods. They aren’t faithful to the Lord.“ They get ready to use their tongues like bows,” announces the Lord.“ Their mouths shoot out lies like arrows. They tell lies to gain power in the land. They go from one sin to another. They do not pay any attention to me.Be on guard against your friends. Do not trust the members of your own family. Every one of them cheats. Every friend tells lies.One friend cheats another. No one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues how to lie. They wear themselves out sinning.

There should not be even a hint of sexual sin among you. Don’t do anything impure. And do not always want more and more. These are not the things God’s holy people should do.There must not be any bad language or foolish talk or dirty jokes. They are out of place. Instead, you should give thanks.

This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds. I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God. And they will be my people.

He said,“ Give me this power too. Then everyone I place my hands on will receive the Holy Spirit.”Peter answered,“ May your money be destroyed with you! Do you think you can buy God’s gift with money?You have no part or share in this holy work. Your heart is not right with God.Turn away from this evil sin of yours. Pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.I see that you are very bitter. You are a prisoner of sin.”

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord.

They make their tongues like sharp swords. They aim their mean words like deadly arrows.They shoot from their hiding places at people who aren’t guilty. They shoot quickly and aren’t afraid of being caught.They help one another make evil plans. They talk about hiding their traps. They say,“ Who can see what we are doing?”They make plans to do what is evil. They say,“ We have thought up a perfect plan!” The hearts and minds of people are so clever!But God will shoot my enemies with his arrows. He will suddenly strike them down.He will turn their own words against them. He will destroy them. All those who see them will shake their heads and look down on them.

I will tell other people about all the good things you have done. All day long I will talk about how you have saved your people. But there’s no way I could say how many times you’ve done this.Lord and King, I will come and announce your mighty acts. I will announce all the good things that you alone do.God, ever since I was young you have taught me. To this very day I tell about your wonderful acts.God, don’t leave me even when I’m old and have gray hair. Let me live to tell my children about your power. Let me tell all of them about your mighty acts.

Proud people have hidden their traps to catch me. They have spread out their nets. They have set traps for me along my path.

Joy is found in giving the right answer. And how good is a word spoken at the right time!

Listen to what pours out of their mouths. The words from their lips are like swords. They think,“ Who can hear us?”

He is coming to judge everyone. He is coming to sentence all of them. He will judge them for all the ungodly acts they have done. They have done them in ungodly ways. He will sentence ungodly sinners for all the things they have said to oppose him.”

I am by far the least important of all the Lord’s holy people. But he gave me the grace to preach to the Gentiles about the unlimited riches that Christ gives.

Pay attention and listen to the sayings of wise people. Apply your heart to the sayings I teach.It is pleasing when you keep them in your heart. Have all of them ready on your lips.

God said,“ Let light shine out of darkness.”( Genesis 1:3) He made his light shine in our hearts. His light gives us the light to know God’s glory. His glory is shown in the face of Christ.Treasure is kept in clay jars. In the same way, we have the treasure of the good news in these earthly bodies of ours. That shows that the mighty power of the good news comes from God. It doesn’t come from us.

Then Peter said,“ Ananias, why did you let Satan fill your heart? He made you lie to the Holy Spirit. You have kept some of the money you received for the land.
