NASB
"and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks."
— Ephesians 5:4, NASB
“Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.”
“nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: 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.”
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;
and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints;
and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Therefore do not be partakers with them;
