Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. |
neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. |
and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. |
Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. |
Let there be no filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish and sinful (silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fritting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness [to God]. |
and obscenity and foolish talking or ribaldry, which things have not been seemly or fitting, but rather giving of thanks, |
The key-note of your conversation should not be coarseness or silliness or flippancy – which are quite out of place, but a sense of all that we owe to God. |
there must be no indecency, silly talk or suggestive jesting, for they are unbecoming. There should be thanksgiving instead. |
Neither 2532 filthiness, 151 nor 2532 foolish talking, 3473 nor 2228 jesting, 2160 which are not 3756 convenient: 433 but 235 rather 3123 giving of thanks. 2169 |
