Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying… Madame Antoinette Sterling, when asked to go on the operatic stage, replied, "I cannot. I stand by every word I utter when I sing, and I feel I must to the death. It is not alone song with me — melodious sounds; it is the lesson inculcated: hope in the future, bright joys to come, the mercy of an all-wise God. I would not sing a wicked or a frivolous word before an audience for anything on earth." (Francis Hay.) Parallel Verses KJV: Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. |
