Glorifying God

Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]. (Ephesians 4:29) Corrupt words is anything that is not glorifying to God. But speaking the truth in love glorifies God, and words spoken out of humility with a sincere desire to please the Lord.

A virtuous woman is always careful, kind, and helpful with what she says. Speaking the truth in love out of a pure heart, set apart by the way they use their words. She shows love to the people she is talking to and uses tact and grace.

But speaking the truth in love [in all things—both our speech and our lives expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him [following His example] who is the Head—Christ. (Ephesians 4:15)

She opens her mouth in [skillful and godly] wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue [giving counsel and instruction]. (Proverbs 31:26) Called to testify to the truth of His message; speaking the truth in love. Her words anointed with love, mercy and grace. She uplifts with Her words and gives hope. Blessings are on the head of the righteous [the upright, those in right standing with God],

But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

The memory of the righteous [person] is a [source of] blessing,

But the name of the wicked will [be forgotten and] rot [like a corpse].

The wise in heart [are willing to learn so they] will accept and obey commands (instruction),

But the babbling fool [who is arrogant and thinks himself wise] will come to ruin.

He who walks in integrity and with moral character walks securely,

But he who takes a crooked way will be discovered and punished.

He who [maliciously] winks the eye [of evil intent] causes trouble;

And the babbling fool [who is arrogant and thinks himself wise] will come to ruin.

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life and his words of wisdom are a source of blessing,

But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence and evil. (Proverbs 10:6-11)
