Ephesians 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. The story is well known of the person who invited a company of his friends that were accustomed to take the Lord's name in vain, and contrived to have all their discourse taken down and read to them. Now, if they could not endure to hear the words repeated which they had spoken during a few hours, how shall they bear to have all that they have uttered through a long course of years brought forth as evidence against them at the tribunal of God? (Scott.) Parallel Verses KJV: Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. |
