(29) Let nothing, no rotten word go out from your mouth but rather only something good towards building up those of need, so that favourable-grace is given to those listening.

[29] Don't let toxic words escape your lips. Instead, speak what builds others up, words that meet the moment's need—like a master craftsman selecting exactly the right tool.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;
Young's Literal Translation
