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,

Do not utter a dirty or corrupt word, nay, though it has a merry jest appended to it, do not speak it. "He pares his apple who would cleanly feed," is a good proverb. Take away all that is corrupt about the story.

Ephesians 4:29. But that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

What sweet talking there would be if we all spoke in this way, to "minister grace unto the hearers"! Ah! then, my dear friends, it would not matter how much we talked, if every word was salted with salt.
