"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful in building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you are sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:29-32
Paul was in prison in Rome when he wrote this letter to the followers in Ephesus. But it was probably circulated to all the Christian churches near Ephesus.
I know from experience that it's not that easy to 'watch your mouth' especially when you get around friends that are a little less than careful about how they talk. It's one thing to work on no matter where you are, at home, or anywhere. I think people have more respect for someone who has a clean and upbuilding manner of speaking. Not to mention when you're careful about the words you say you are less likely to grieve the Holy Spirit. It may even help your prayers to be answered mored quickly.
God Bless you richly, with all good things. Shalom
