For the ear tests words as the mouth tastes food.
Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes its food?
The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.
Behold, I will open my mouth; my address is on the tip of my tongue.
But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking for his life with a curse—
Is there iniquity on my tongue? Can my mouth not discern malice?
