You say you are born again
But are you born from above,
Living a life of peace,
Walking in the way of love?
Do you say unwholesome things
And hope they have a sense of humour?
Or is your speech pure and noble?
Do you have a sense of honour?
Are your words careless and corrupt
Or beneficial to those who hear?
Because, for every idle word,
Before our Judge, we'll appear
From the depths of one's heart
Comes good and evil speech;
Since a tree is known by its fruit,
Let your words be nourishing and sweet

Matthew 12:34-36
