What does the Bible say about Manners?

(Love) is kind.
(1 Corinthians 13:4 NKJV)

Treat others the same way
you want them to treat you.
(Luke 6:31 NASB)

Even a child is known by his doings,
and whether his work be pure and
whether it be right.
(Proverbs 20:11 KJV)

Do not let any unwholesome talk come
out of your mouths, but only what is
helpful for building others up
according to their needs, that
it may benefit those who listen.
(Ephesians 4:29 NIV)

. . . I am the Lord which
exercise lovingkindness . . . .
(Jeremiah 9:24 KJV)

Show proper respect to everyone:
Love the brotherhood of believers,
fear God, honor the king.
(1 Peter 2:17 NIV)

Only let your conduct be worthy
of the gospel of Christ.
(Philippians 1:27a NKJV)

A merciful man doeth good to his
own soul: but he that is cruel
troubleth his own flesh.
(Proverbs 11:17KJV)

Through love serve one another.
(Galatians 5:13b. NASB)

And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for
Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
(Ephesians 4:32 KJV)

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
(Psalm 141:3 NKJV)

In everything give thanks: for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.
(1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV)

The only thing that counts is faith
expressing itself through love.
(Galatians 5:6b NIV)

I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore I have drawn you
with lovingkindness.
(Jeremiah 3l:3b NASB)

Use hospitality one to
another without grudging.
(1 Peter 4:9 KJV)

Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps
no record of wrongs.
(1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV)

Command them to do good, to be rich in
good deeds, and to be generous and
willing to share. In this way they will lay
up treasure for themselves as a firm
foundation for the coming age, so that
they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
(1 Timothy 6:18-19 NIV)

O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good:
for his mercy endureth for ever.
(Psalm 107:1 KJV)

When you are invited by someone to a
wedding feast, do not take the place of
honor, for someone more distinguished than
you may have been invited by him, and he
who invited you both will come and say to
you, 'Give your place to this man,' and then
in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last
place. But when you are invited, go and
recline at the last place, so that when the one
who has invited you comes, he may say to
you, 'Friend, move up higher'; then you will
have honor in the sight of all who are at the
table with you. For everyone who exalts
himself will be humbled, and he who
humbles himself will be exalted.
(Luke 14:8-11 NASB)

And into whatsoever city ye enter, and
they receive you, eat such things
as are set before you.
(Luke 10:8 KJV)

A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension,
but a patient man calms a quarrel.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or
whatsoever ye do, do
all to the glory of God.
(1 Corinthians 10:31 KJV)

A gossip betrays a confidence, but a
trustworthy man keeps a secret.
(Proverbs 11:13 NIV)

A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
(Proverbs 15:1 NASB)

The lip of truth shall be established for ever:
but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
(Proverbs 12:19 KJV)

My brethren, do not hold the faith of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with
partiality. For if there should come into
your assembly a man with gold rings,
in fine apparel, and there should
also come in a poor man in filthy clothes,
and you pay attention to the one wearing
fine clothes and say to him, 'You sit here
in a good place,' and say to the poor
man, 'You stand there,' or, 'Sit here at
my footstool,' have you not shown
partiality among yourselves, and
become judges with evil thoughts?
(James 2:1-4 NKJV)

Whoever welcomes one of these little
children in my name welcomes me;
and whoever welcomes me does
not welcome me but the one who sent me.
(Mark 9:37 NIV)

Children, obey your parents in the Lord:
for this is right.
(Ephesians 6:1 KJV)

Do not speak against one
another, brethren.

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
(Matthew 22:39b KJV)

Therefore, my beloved brethren,
let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath.
(James 1:19 NKJV)

I thank my God upon every
remembrance of you.
(Philippians 1:3 KJV)

Practice hospitality.
(Romans 12:13b NIV)

Do not let kindness and truth leave you. 
(Proverbs 3:3a NASB)

There is an appointed time for everything.
And there is a time for every event under heaven...
a time to be silent and a time to speak.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1 & 7b NASB)

Do not gloat when your enemy fails; when
he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice,
or the LORD will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from him.
(Proverbs 24:17,18 NIV)

So then we pursue the things which make
for peace and the building up of one another.
(Romans 14:19 NASB)
