The words that come out of our mouths either spread life or they cause death. In light of this, Ephesians 4:29 tells us not to let “corrupting” talk come from out mouths. The Greek word for “corrupting” is “sapros.” It means rotten and that which is in the process of decay and described all sorts of grotesque things in the ancient world like diseased flesh, spoiled food, decayed brickwork, and even withered flowers.
