Ephesians 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. Whosoever will jest will be like him that flourishes at a show — he may turn his weapon every way, but not aim more at one than another. It is very unsafe to sling about this wormwood: some noses are too delicate to bear the smell. Some are like tiled houses, that can admit a falling spark; yet others are like dry straw, that with the least touch will kindle about your ears. (J. Beaumont.) Parallel Verses KJV: Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. |
