18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

18 There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

10 For “He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.
