Cussing is Sinful

Matthew 12:34-37: You brood of vipers, how can you say good things when you are evil? For from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks. A good person brings forth good out of a store of goodness, but an evil person brings forth evil out of a store of evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will render an account for every careless word they speak. By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

Matthew 15:18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile.

Ephesians 4:29 No foul language should come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for needed edification, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

Colossians 3:8 But now you must put them all away: anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths.

James 1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, his religion is vain.

2 Timothy 2:16 Avoid profane, idle talk, for such people will become more and more godless,

Sirach 23:9 Let not your mouth form the habit of swearing, or becoming too familiar with the Holy Name.

Sirach 23:13 Let not your mouth become used to coarse talk, for in it lies sinful matter.
