 2.16-

Bad, perverse speech is a way to prove you want to discount others and therefore yourself.
We don't need to use words and speech that seems elite, hypereducated and complicated. We need to use speech that shows freedom and self control that reflects, honor, faith love and gentleness.
People who use bad language are not the enemy. They are the victim of the enemy. We need to reach out in love to understand all people to teach them words that build up. I need much grace and mercy in this area.

1 Timothy 6
11 But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, [j]perseverance, and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I direct you in the presence of God, who [k]gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, 14 that you keep the commandment without [l]fault or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which He will [m]bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of [n]kings and Lord of [o]lords, 16 who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom [p]no one has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
