11:15For it is required of a man to know how to give an answer to every one in season."
11:16For "he that utters whatsoever comes to his mouth, that man produces strife; and he that utters a superfluity of words increases vexation; and he that is hasty with his lips falls into evil.
11:17For because of the unruliness of the tongue comes anger; but the perfect man keeps watch over his tongue, and loves his soul's life."
11:18For these are they "who by good words and fair speeches lead astray the hearts of the simple, and, while offering them blessings, lead them astray."
11:19Let us, therefore, fear the judgment which awaits teachers.
11:20For a severe judgment will those teachers receive "who teach, but do not,"
11:21and those who take upon them the name of Christ falsely, and say: We teach the truth, and yet go wandering about idly, and exalt themselves, and make their boast in the mind of the flesh.
11:22These, moreover, are like "the blind man who leads the blind man, and they both fall into the ditch."
11:23And they will receive judgment, because in their talkativeness and their frivolous teaching they teach natural wisdom and the "frivolous error of the plausible words of the wisdom of men,"
11:24"according to the will of the prince of the dominion of the air, and of the spirit which works in those men who will not obey, according to the training of this world, and not according to the doctrine of Christ."
11:25But if you have received "the word of knowledge, or the word of instruction, or of prophecy," blessed be God, "who helps every man without grudging — that God who gives to every man and does not upbraid him."
