John's Gospel is quite different from the other Gospels (The gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are referred to as the Synoptic Gospels because they include many of the same stories, often in a similar sequence and in similar wording.) but I consider John's Gospel is more with conversation of Jesus with the Father, God.
The first conversation in the old testament, When God Created Adam:
“From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not [n]eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”
The first conversation between Adam and Eve: with the first creation.“This is now bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
[u]She shall be called [v]Woman,
Because [w]she was taken out of [x]Man.”
Colossians 4:6New American Standard Bible (NASB)
6 Let your speech always be [a]with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
Hebrews 13:5New American Standard Bible (NASB)
5 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,”
Conversations are also compared with Character:
Conversations are also compared with Character:
So, it is very clear that if our conversations or character is free from the love of money(not always grumbling of not having or being proud of having more of it) but by being content. Why? because God Himself has said, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you."
Trusting God at times of trouble is to keep our mouth shut to grumbling and complaining and to open it up to offer praise and worship for God will soon turn all such situations to be good, victorious.
Philippians 3:20New American Standard Bible (NASB)
20 For our [a]citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
Conversation is also said as Citizenship
Our conversation depends upon where we belong. If we were to say of the surroundings... Its marvelous, beyond the words to describe. It is to say that God's creation is beautiful. Praising God is to say that he did everything beautiful. It is possible only by being a citizenship of Heaven.
