Let your speech always... Not just some of the time, but always. Not just with some people you speak with but with everyone
Be gracious... Affording joy, pleasure, sweetness, and favor to those to whom you are speaking.
Seasoned with salt... Not bland, but bringing out and enhancing the flavor of what you are saying. Not words that will blow away and be forgotten, but words that will last.
So that you may know how you should answer everyone... Know that people will question you and your faith. Know that people may attack you verbally. Also know that people will have questions and come to you. You need to be prepared. Speaking the truth in love, speaking graciously words full of lasting flavor, will help you to respond.
Our words affect those who hear them. Let us make sure to speak words that guide those around us to the Truth.
