Ephesians 5:4 - Entirely out of place is obscene, silly, and vulgar talk; but instead, let there be thanksgiving.
Human beings are social in their nature; and if they do not assemble for good purposes, they will for bad ones, for jesting, idle, petty, and impolite conversation, low wit, etc..., which is the way of the world. (Read Rom 12:2).
It is much more appropriate to the character of Christians to come together to sing praises to God in thanksgiving, than to sing secular songs; to pray than to jest; and to devote the time to a contemplation of the Word, than to trifles and nonsense.
The impurity in outward expression reveals the impurity of the inward soul.
