Ephesians 5:4

MSG

NIV

4 Though some tongues just love the taste of gossip, Christians have better uses for language than that. Don't talk dirty or silly. That kind of talk doesn't fit our style. Thanksgiving is our dialect.
4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
