"In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise."--Prov.10:19.
Clumsy writing and bad wording abound in upper level college textbooks. It's as though the authors want to convey ideas in ponderous language maximizing the boredom of their readers.
Some authors maximize their words while communicating as little as possible:
"Insofar as the aforementioned ramifications have been elaborated upon in due course, having underscored at length the explicit and resultant multitudinous proclivities inherent in comprehensively delineating these ramifications..."
And on and on it goes.
Jesus Christ never wasted words. His teachings and discourses have been written down in the good Word of God for the benefit of God's people. The Scriptural presentation of Jesus' words is accurate and without excess language.
Jesus never sinned by 'saying too much'. And: Jesus correctly claimed that His spiritual words are words of life: "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."--John 6:63.
Furthermore, Jesus' words are in complete alignment with the Divine Will: "I have not spoken on my own authority but the Father Who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak."--John 12:49.
As we approach what is called 'Christmas Day', we remember the Good Son of God Who was sent to a dark and lost world. And we remember the very good Gospel wording of John 3:16- "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
