What does the Bible say About Profanity:
Matt 12:36-37
(36)
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give
account thereof in the day of judgment.
(37)
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned.
James 1:26
(26)
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but
deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
Eph 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good
to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Eph 5:11-12
(11)
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
them.
(12)
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in
secret.
James 3:5-6
(5)
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how
great a matter a little fire kindleth!
(6)
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our
members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of
nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
James 3:8
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
1 Peter 3:10
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from
evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
Titus 2:7-8
(7)
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing
uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
(8)
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may
be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
