1 Peter 3:10

Verse 10. For he that will love life, and see good days.

I hardly think that we have the correct idea as embraced in the thought of loving life. To my mind the word "enjoy" would be better. I am induced to so think from the clause following, "And see better days." Now, I can not see how keeping the tongue and lips from speaking evil would create or increase love for life, and as a failure so to do would destroy a desire to live, and yet I can plainly see the enjoyment of life would be enhanced by such a wise course. The injunction to the Christian, however, is plain. Restrain the tongue, keep a close guard upon it, that no evil comes from that source, and nothing of a like character pass the lips.
