How Young People (and everyone else) Gain Respect
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set
the believers an example in speech, in conduct,
in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 412

Now many signs and wonders were regularly done
among the people by the hands of the apostles.
And they were all together in Solomon's Portico.
13 None of the rest dared join them, but the
people held them in high esteem. Acts 512-13
for we aim at what is honorable not only in the
Lord's sight but also in the sight of man. 1
Corinthians 821

Through him then let us continually offer up a
sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of
lips that acknowledge his name. Hebrews
1315
There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts
of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings
healing. Truthful lips will be established
forever , but a lying tongue is only for a
moment. Proverbs 1218-19
6
A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but
perversion in it crushes the spirit.
A man has joy in an apt answer, and how
delightful is a timely word!
Pro. 154
Pro. 1523

Pro. 1621
The wise in heart will be called discerning,
and sweetness of speech increases
persuasiveness.
Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a
word spoken in right circumstances. Pro.

But now you also, put them all aside anger,
wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from
your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you
laid aside the old self with its evil practices.
Col. 38-9

3 For the time that is past suffices for doing
what the Gentiles want to do, living in
sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies,
drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4 With
respect to this they are surprised when you do
not join them in the same flood of debauchery,
and they malign you 1 Peter 43-4
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which
are immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry,
sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of
anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying,
drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of
which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned
you that those who practice such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God. Gal. 519-21

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay

dis-ciples, if you have love for one another.

Was not Abraham our father justified by works,
when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
You see that faith was working with his works,
and as a result of the works, faith was
perfected and the Scripture was fulfilled which
says, And Abraham believed God, and it was
reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was
called the friend of God. James

all sin. 1 John 17
