"nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks."
— Ephesians 5:4, World English Bible
“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. ”
“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 therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any 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 on the children of disobedience.
Therefore don't be partakers with them.
