Luke 646-49 NAS

• And why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not
  do what I say? Everyone who comes to Me, and
  hears My words, and acts upon them, I will show
  you whom he is like he is like a man building a
  house, who dug deep and laid a foundation upon
  the rock and when a flood rose, the torrent
  burst against that house and could not shake it,
  because it had been well built.

Luke 646-49 NAS

• But the one who has heard, and has not acted
  accordingly, is like a man who built a house upon
  the ground without any foundation and the
  torrent burst against it and immediately it
  collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.

5
Luke 643-45 NAS)

• There is no good tree which produces bad fruit
  nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces
  good fruit. For each tree is known by its own
  fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns,
  nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. The
  good man out of the good treasure of his heart
  brings forth what is good and the evil man out
  of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil
  for his mouth speaks from that which fills his
  heart.

James 36-10 NAS

• The tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity
  the tongue is set among our members as that which
  defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the
  course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.
  For every species of beasts and birds, of
  reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed, and
  has been tamed by the human race.

7
James 36-10 NAS

• But no one can tame the tongue it is a restless
  evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless
  our Lord and Father and with it we curse men,
  who have been made in the likeness of God from
  the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My
  brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

  covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one

  lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips
  For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of
  hosts.

  burning coal in his hand which he had taken from
  the altar with tongs. And he touched my mouth
  with it and said, "Behold, this has touched your
  lips and your iniquity is taken away, and your
  sin is forgiven." Then I heard the voice of the
  Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go
  for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
