Thoughts on words

Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. (Eph. 5:4 - ESV)

It is interesting that the replacement for wrong words is to be thanksgiving. If we are concentrating on the One to whom we have so much to be grateful for, we will not slander His name or glory by having filth or crudeness come from our mouths.
