A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Proverbs 25:11
"In many, the absence of a Christlike spirit has been very marked. Many who claim to follow Christ have not His fragrance of character.
By performing
God can not approve of wrong words and actions, for they are an offense to Him. He calls for a decided and thorough change."

"In many, the absence of a Christlike spirit has been very marked. Many who claim to follow Christ have not His fragrance of character.
By performing
*deeds of mercy, and
*by speaking words of kindness
that are like apples of gold in pictures of silver,
they could exert an elevating influence over those with whom they come in contact; but too often their words are harsh, their actions unbecoming a Christian. God can not approve of wrong words and actions, for they are an offense to Him. He calls for a decided and thorough change."
