(Col 4:6) “Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” Grace: giving another that which is undeserved. So, we speak in a way to benefit them even if their attitude or response is undeserving of such. “Seasoned with salt”: speaks of enduring quality, as was added to the offerings made to God. What we say to others should have eternal meaning. What we say should be worth hearing. In the desire to please God in these things He gives wisdom and direction: “that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”
