The words that you speak out of your mouth should be a reflection of what is in your heart. What you speak, teach, or preach should always be positive words of faith. Tell people about our Lord Jesus, confess it with your mouth that you believe it with your whole heart that Jesus died for your sins and God raised Him from the dead. Telling others about Christ being the Son of God is confessing with your mouth and believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.

• But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; Rom. 10:8
• That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom. 10:9

​No corrupt communication should come out of your mouth. A few examples of corrupt communication are lying, insulting someone, speaking negatively about the Lord, calling people names, gossiping about others, saying things that could hurt someone else's feelings.
Words that should come out of your mouth are words that provide moral or intellectual instruction, be courteous, so that when people hear you speak your words influence, regenerate, inspire, impart strength them and lift them up.

• Ephesians 4:29 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.

​Your words that come out of your mouth should never grieve the Holy Spirit of God because you are sealed unto the day of redemption. Your words should never stop the Holy Spirit or cause sadness, grief, or distress. Being sealed unto the day of redemption means nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.

• Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Do not allow your self to speak out of bitterness, wrath, or anger, or to speak clamour (confusion, deliberately confusing someone) or evil words which increase guilt or cause someone to feel bad or to do evil things.

• Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

​Always be kind, tenderhearted and forgiving toward each other just as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.

• Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.​​
