³⁰ (For I did not let my mouth give way to sin, in putting a curse on his life;)

⁹ Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.

¹⁴ Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you.

²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

⁹ With it we give praise to our Lord and Father; and with it we put a curse on men who are made in God's image.

¹⁰ Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, it is not right for these things to be so.

⁶ And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell.

³⁶ And I say to you that in the day when they are judged, men will have to give an account of every foolish word they have said.

⁴³ You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you:

⁴⁴ But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;

²² But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

⁶ Because much talk comes from dreams and things of no purpose. But let the fear of God be in you.

² As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.

⁴ If you come across the ox or the ass of one who is no friend to you wandering from its way, you are to take it back to him.

⁵ If you see the ass of one who has no love for you bent down to the earth under the weight which is put on it, you are to come to its help, even against your desire.
