List for me all the Bible verses that clearly oppose profanity and its usage.

=== Assistant: Got you. ===
Got you. Here’s a clean, straight-shooting list of Bible passages that ''explicitly'' discourage or forbid profanity, corrupt speech, filthy language, or abusive talk—no fluff, no stretching meanings.

I’ll group them by theme so you can see how consistent the message is across Scripture.

==== 📜 Core Passages Directly Opposing Profanity & Corrupt Speech ====

===== Bible — New Testament (Most Explicit) =====

===== Ephesians 4:29 =====

: “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”

→ “Corrupt communication” (Greek sapros) literally means rotten, foul, decaying speech.

===== Ephesians 5:4 =====

: “Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.”

→ This is one of the clearest blanket condemnations of dirty language, crude joking, and vulgar speech.

===== Colossians 3:8 =====

: “But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.”

→ “Filthy communication” = obscene, abusive, profane speech.

===== James 3:9–10 =====

: “Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men… Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.”

→ Directly condemns cursing people, verbal abuse, and contradictory speech.

===== Matthew 12:36 =====

: “But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.”

→ “Idle” includes careless, harmful, or destructive speech.

===== Matthew 15:11 =====

: “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.”

→ Speech reveals inner moral state—words can defile.

===== Luke 6:45 =====

: “For of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.”

→ Profanity is framed as a symptom of the heart, not just vocabulary.

==== 📜 Old Testament Passages Addressing Speech & Profanity ====

===== Exodus 20:7 =====

: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”

→ This is the foundational prohibition against using God’s name flippantly, angrily, or profanely.

===== Leviticus 19:12 =====

: “And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God.”

→ Explicit use of the word “profane.”

===== Psalm 34:13 =====

: “Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.”

===== Psalm 141:3 =====

: “Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.”

→ A prayer against uncontrolled speech.

===== Proverbs 4:24 =====

: “Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.”

→ “Perverse” includes twisted, corrupt, abusive speech.

===== Proverbs 13:3 =====

: “He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.”

===== Proverbs 15:4 =====

: “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.”

===== Proverbs 21:23 =====

: “Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.”

==== 📌 Summary (No Sugarcoating) ====

Across both Testaments, Scripture consistently teaches that:
* Profane, filthy, corrupt, abusive, or crude speech is sinful
* Words are treated as moral actions, not neutral sounds
* Speech reflects the state of the heart
* Believers are called to edifying, clean, controlled language
* Casual vulgarity and “just joking” don’t get a free pass

Whether one takes this literally, culturally, or spiritually—the Bible is unambiguous: profanity and corrupt speech are opposed, repeatedly and directly.

If you want, I can:
* Narrow this to only verses that use words like “filthy,” “corrupt,” or “profane”
* Compare modern translations vs KJV wording
* Or map how biblical profanity differs from modern swear words

Just say the word, twin.
