American Standard Version
"nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks. "
— Ephesians 5:4, American Standard Version
“Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.”
“nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.”
“Neither should there be vulgar speech, foolish talk, or coarse jesting– all of which are out of character– but rather thanksgiving.”
“Or obscenity or foolish talking or scurrility, which is to no purpose: but rather giving of thanks.”
“And let there be no low behaviour, or foolish talk, or words said in sport, which are not right, but in place of them the giving of praise.”
“Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.”
Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
Be not ye therefore partakers with them;
