For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech." |
To enjoy life we must refrain from speaking evil and keep our lips from lying.
Peter quotes Psalm 34:12-16a (see memory verse below) to confirm that God's blessing rests on those who practices righteousness.
Why is speech so important? Consider the following verse:
"Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body." - James 3:5-6a
