10. For He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. 11. Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. 1 Pet. 3:10-11 NKJV
Quote from Psalms 34:12-14 12. What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13. Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Refrain His Tongue From Evil 1 Refrain = Cease, Desist James 3:2-8 = tongue is unruly evil Corrupt Cursing Swearing Lying Hateful Rude Unkind
Does our speech matter ? Mt. 12:37 “For by thy words thou ….. Justified ….. Condemned” Eph.4:29 “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,…”
His Lips Speak no Deceit 2 Deceit = guile, snare, a lure To speak deceitfully Praise that is not sincere Flattery
“A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.” Prov.29:5 “He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.” Prov.20:19

Turn from Evil and Do Good Do Good Walk in way of righteousness Gal. 6:10 “do good unto all men” Jas. 4:17 “knoweth to do good”
Seek Peace and Pursue it 4 Sin has separated us from God Reconciled by blood of Christ Phil.4:7 “peace of God, which surpasses” Rom.12:18 “live peaceably with all men”
