Certainly you enjoy compliments and sincere pleasantries. So does everyone else. As your lips smile, reveal your heart with your kind words. Be cheerful, courteous and graceful in your speech, attracting others to you so that you might make a new friend. Say something nice.
When you talk, do not say harmful things, but say what people need – words that will help others become stronger. Then what you say will do good to those who listen to you. Ephesians 4:29
Speak to each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord. Ephesians 5:19
When you talk, you should always be kind and pleasant so you will be able to answer everyone in the way you should. Colossians 4:6
Finally, all of you should be in agreement, understanding each other, loving each other as family, being kind and humble. Do not do wrong to repay a wrong, and do not insult to repay an insult. But repay with a blessing, because you yourselves were called to do this so that you might receive a blessing. 1 Peter 3:8-9
