30. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents. 6. REVILING AND RAILING CONDEMNED. EX. XXII, 28. Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people. 1 COR. VI, 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 COR. V, 11. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to eat. 1 PET. III, 9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 1 TIM. VI, 4. He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings. 2 PET. II, 11. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. JUDE, 9. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 7. UNPROFITABLE CONVERSATION FORBIDDEN. EPH. IV, 29. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 1 COR. XV, 33. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. EPH. V, 3. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4. Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. MATT. XII, 36. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. COL. III, 8. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. COL. IV, 6. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. 2 PET. II, 7. And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked. ISAIAH IX, 17. Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is a hypocrite and an evil doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 1 TIM. I, 4. Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 2 TIM. II, 14. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 2 TIM. II, 16. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
