Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee (Proverbs 4:24)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

The word, "froward", in the Bible means:

stubbornly unruly

 

If a person is stubbornly unruly, we must put him far from us, staying away from that person, knowing of his evil speaking.

 

We cannot take his evil words into our own heart.  For if we do, we will find his evil coming out of our own mouth at some point in time.

 

Words that go into our heart bear fruit, whether good or bad.

 

Jesus says:  for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.  (Mt. 12:34)

 

II Corinthians 6

 

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be MY people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you,

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be MY sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
