Sometimes it’s better to say nothing, even if it makes you look foolish,than to speak carelessly because our words do not vanish after they are spoken,they are recorded and will either condemn or aquit us.
If you were in the habit of speaking carelessly,you can repent,there is forgiveness,then change from doing that.
Vulgar speech, dirty/obscene/sexually explicit talk and jokes,gossip and slander, boastful speech, hurtful words spoken towards others, flirting, cursing and all careless speech will be judged by a holy God.
Therefore those who belong to Christ must flee from all careless speech.
Matthew 12:36-37
“But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Ephesians 4:29
“Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.”
Ephesians 5:3-4
“But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;
neither FILTHINESS nor FOOLISH TALKING, nor COARSE JESTING (crude/dirty joking), which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.”
