Scripture to Back this Up:
* Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29* A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1* There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 12:18
