18 But ^awhat comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.

17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For ^dGod’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

7 Since we have these promises, beloved, ^jlet us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body¹ and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.

4 Let there be ^rno filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, ^swhich are out of place, but instead ^tlet there be thanksgiving.
