This chapter is very practical, calling for believers to walk in a way that is pleasing to Yahweh. Paul says that because we have put off the Old Man and have put on the New Man, we are to live in a way that demonstrates the New Man. So far we have seen that we are to be known as those who speak the truth in every and all situations. We are to control our anger and not sin, we are not to steal, but to work so that we will be able to share with those in need. Now Paul says:

Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29 NASB

I think that all of us are overwhelmingly guilty of not heeding Paul's command here. No matter how hard we try, we all have erred with our tongues!
