1 Peter 3:8-10
The Voice
8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded and show sympathy, love, compassion, and humility to and for each other— 9 not paying back evil with evil or insult with insult, but repaying the bad with a blessing. It was this you were called to do, so that you might inherit a blessing. 10 It is written in the psalms,
If you love life
and want to live a good, long time,
Then be careful what you say.
Don’t tell lies or spread gossip or talk about improper things.
1 Peter 3:8-10
New International Version

“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
