About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing
hymns to God [to praise Him], and the other prisoners were
listening to them. (Acts, 16:25)

Abstaining from Evil Language and
Speaking with Good Words

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,
but only what is helpful for building others up according to
their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (Ephesians,

4:29)

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned
with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
(Colossians, 4:6)

All spoke well of him [Jesus] and were amazed at the gra-
cious words that came from his lips... (Luke, 4:22)

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sym-
pathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do

not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with bless-
ing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a
blessing. (1 Peter, 3:8-9)

... For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must
keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful
speech. He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek
peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are [God's help
is] on the righteous but... Lord is against those who do evil."
(1 Peter, 3:10-12)
