Supporting Scriptures Regarding Profanity

I supposed if I'm going to do these religious discussions I should quote and share the supporting scripture. In this post I will address last weeks topic. 

Starting with some quotes from The Gospel of Matthew. 

"It is not that which goeth into the mouth that defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."  Matthew 15:11

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Matthew 12:36-37


"Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be." James 3:10


"Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks." Ephesians 5:4


"But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness." 2 Timothy 2:16

"If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain." James 1:26

"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." Exodus 20:7

"And now, behold, two hundred years had passed away, and the people of Nephi had waxed strong in the land. They observed to keep the law of Moses and the sabbath day holy unto the Lord. And they profaned not; neither did they blaspheme. And the laws of the land were exceedingly strict." Jarom 1:5


"And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean." Ezekiel 44:23

There are many more examples to be found in the scriptures.
