In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

My beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath—He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city—If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body—By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned—Set a watch, O L ORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Christ … suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously—Consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
In their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Fear not: for I have redeemed thee.

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the L ORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel—I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee—With the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
Their Redeemer is strong; the L ORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause—My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

In every thing ye are enriched by him.

When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly—He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing—To will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not—Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you—Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.
