For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.
