The attendants answered them, "No man ever spoke like this Man!"

Some wound as they speak, like swords, but the tongues of the wise heal.

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you become like him.

Yet answer a fool according to his folly, lest he seem wise in his own conceit.

Behold, are not My words as fire? Says the Lord; and as an axe cutting the rock?

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an unlearned person comes in, he is reproved by all, he is discerned by all.

And so the secrets of his heart become clear; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God, reporting that God is truly among you!

Let your word always be with grace, having been seasoned with salt, to know how you ought to answer each [one].

For the word of God is living and effectual, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

And there is no creature hidden before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes, to whom we must give an account.

He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was as the sun shining in its strength.

Repent therefore! Or else I will come to you quickly, and make war against them with the sword of My mouth.

And out of His mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, so that with it He might strike the nations. And He will shepherd them with an iron rod. And He treads the winepress of the wine of the wrath of Almighty God.

And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not notice the plank in your own eye?

Hypocrite! First remove the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and unrighteousness.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all uncleanness.

Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, everyone who judges, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself, for you who judge are practicing the same things.

But do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things yet doing them, that you will escape the judgment of God?

You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?

You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the law?
