Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice,
but now put off, even ye, the whole — anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking — out of your mouth.
your word always in grace — with salt being seasoned — to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.
