Ephesians 4:29

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Ephesians 4:29. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,

Putrid is the word - "no putrid communication" - no word, therefore, which tends to do harm to the purest mind - nothing which is unsavory; therefore, also, nothing that is untrue - nothing that is slanderous -nothing that would injure my neighbor. "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth." "You may as well say it as think it," says one. By no manner of means. If you think it, it will do you harm; if you say it, it will do hurt to others. You may have a bottle of poison, and it is much better to keep the cork in, for if somebody should drink it, then they will die. No, "let no corrupt communication proceed cut of your mouth."
