Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. That was a popular saying when I was a girl. But I discovered early in life that those smart-sounding words were not true. Words can hurt dreadfully! Thats why the Apostle Paul wrote these words to the church in Ephesians 4：29：　　Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying...

　　在我還是一個小孩子的時候, 流行這樣一句話：罵的不疼打的疼。 可是長大以后我發現這句聽起來似乎對的話, 其實一點都不對。話語可以深深地傷害一個人。這就是為什么主耶穌的使徒保羅, 寫信給以弗所的教會時這樣說：污穢的言語, 一句不可出口, 只要隨事說造就人的好話, 叫聽見的人得益處 。

　　Another word for corrupt is polluted. You know that polluted water means water that has filth or harmful chemicals in it. Communication simply means our words! Paul is saying, dont let any filthy, or harmful words go out of your mouth. Then Paul tells us what kind of words SHOULD come out of our mouth：...that which is good to the use of edifying. Edifying means building up, helping others do the right thing. Paul is saying, dont say wrong things that harm people, but say right things that help people!

　　污穢也有被污染的意思。如果水被污染了, 它不但臟, 里面還含有有害的化學物質, 是不能喝的。保羅說, 污穢的言語, 一句不可出口, 他說, 我們應當說的是造就人的好話, 叫聽見的人得益處。造就人就是幫助別人做對的事。保羅的意思就是我們不應該說污穢的言語去傷害別人, 而應該說造就人的好話去幫助別人。

　　If you know the Lord Jesus, you are His child! Do your words show that you are a child of God?Do you think Jesus always spoke respectfully to His earthly parents?Do you think He always told the truth?　　Will you ask Him to help you say right words that help people?Telling people about Jesus is a right way to use words! Saying please and thank you, remembering to use kind words to your friends and family, sharing Bible verses you have learned, all are ways to use words the right way. Daily ask God to control your words!

　　如果你已經相信耶穌, 你就是神的孩子。 你所說的話有沒有證明你是神的孩子呢?當我們的主耶穌在世上的時候, 他從來都對他在世上的父母說話有禮貌, 他從來沒有說過一句謊話。你可以讓主耶穌來幫助你去說造就人的好話。這些包括對別人傳講耶穌, 對別人說請 , 謝 , 對你的家人和朋友說話有禮貌, 與別人分享你所學到的圣經經節。每一天, 你都需要向神禱告, 讓神來掌管你口中所說的話。

　　If you have never believed on the Lord Jesus, the first thing He wants to control is your life. Will you go to ?How to Be a Child of God?and take the steps to become His child?Then you can ask God to control your words!

　　如果你還沒有相信耶穌, 神要做的第一件事就是要掌管你的生命。請你去聽怎樣成為神的孩子, 并照那里所說的去做, 成為神的孩子。然后, 你可以向神禱告, 讓神來掌管你口中所說的話。

　　Will you work hard this week to learn this important verse from the Bible?And ask God to help you obey it! He wants to control your words! Lets say it together now：Ephesians 4：29, Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying...This CEF song will help you remember to let God control your words!Watch your tongue and watch your temper, Do not say an unkind word, When you start to speak in anger, Turn it over to the Lord.
