Salvaguarda tu lengua [de] lo que es malo, y tus labios [de] hablar engaño (Sal. 34:13).
Cada vez que sus apóstoles discutían acerca de quién era el más importante, Jesús les ayudaba a entender el valor de la humildad, y siempre lo hacía de forma paciente, pero firme (Mar. 9:33-37; Luc. 9:46-48; 22:24-27; Juan 13:14). Hoy día, los superintendentes cristianos también defienden la justicia con firmeza, pero no se portan como si fueran dueños del rebaño de Dios (Mar. 10:42-44). Se esfuerzan por imitar a Cristo siendo “bondadosos [...] [y] tiernamente compasivos” (Efe. 4:32). Es cierto que debemos ser sinceros con nuestros hermanos, pero si somos demasiado francos, podríamos ofenderlos. No queremos andar por ahí lastimando a los demás con comentarios humillantes o insultantes, como si nuestra lengua fuera una navaja afilada (Sal. 52:2; Pro. 12:18). Así honraremos a Dios y contribuiremos a la unidad de la congregación

Safeguard your tongue against what is bad, and your lips against speaking deception.—Ps. 34:13.
When his apostles repeatedly argued among themselves as to who was greater, Jesus firmly but patiently helped them to understand the need for humility. (Mark 9:33-37; Luke 9:46-48; 22:24-27; John 13:14) Similarly, while firm for righteousness, Christian elders today do not lord it over God’s flock. (Mark 10:42-44) They imitate Christ by being “kind to one another” and “tenderly compassionate” in their dealings with others. (Eph. 4:32) By being candid with our brothers but not overly frank, we can express what is on our mind without being offensive. Indeed, never would we want our tongue to be “sharpened like a razor,” using it to inflict painful wounds with abusive or degrading speech. (Ps. 52:2; Prov. 12:18) In this way, we honor God and promote unity in the congregation.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
