Coarse Joking

Bible verses about coarse joking

Christians are called to be God’s holy people so we must rid ourselves of any obscene talk and sinful jesting. Dirty jokes should never come out of our mouths. We are to build others up and stay away from anything that can cause our brothers to stumble. Be imitators of Christ and keep your speech and your thoughts clean. On the day of judgement everyone will be held accountable for the words that came out of their mouth.
