“如果有人自以为虔诚,却不约束他的舌头,反而自己欺骗自己,这人的虔诚是没有用的。”
雅各书 1:26
“Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.”
James 1:26
"It's no big deal!" That's the whine of a believer rationalizing vulgar, inappropriate, or hurtful speech. However, someone confessed a long time ago, "Our moral plunge in the office began when we let our language slip. It didn't seem like that big a deal at the time, but what it led to was disastrous."
Religion that is not reflected in everyday speech is empty and hollow. So let's use our speech to bless and encourage, not to curse, slander, or gossip.
