“It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.””
“For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.”
“And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.”
“Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.”
“Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.”
““Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.””
“‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.”
When cheîlos is spoken over you
Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what cheîlos means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.
Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like 1 Corinthians 14:21 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.
