What does the Bible say about the importance of controlling the tongue?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that controlling one's tongue is crucial, as it can lead to justification or condemnation (Matthew 12:37).

Proverbs 21:23 highlights that 'whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.' This indicates a profound relationship between our speech and our spiritual well-being. Matthew 12:37 further affirms this by stating that our words will justify or condemn us. Thus, the discipline of our speech is not just a matter of social etiquette; it reflects the state of our heart and our relationship with God.
