This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eph 4:29. Σαπρὸς, corrupt) Having the savour of oldness [of “the old man”], Eph 4:22; without grace, insipid, Col 4:6. Its opposite is good.-μὴ ἐκπορευέσθω, let-not proceed) If it be already on the tongue, swallow it again.-εἰ τίς) if any [whatsoever], as often soever: However, equal facility of expression is not demanded of all.-πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν-τοῖς ἀκούουσι, for edifying-to the hearers) This mode of speaking is not such as tends to no profit; it does not subvert the hearers, as those words of which we read, 2Ti 2:14.-δῷ χάριν, may give grace) There is great efficacy in godly conversation.
