    strains against Ephesians 5:3-4

    Paul urges that sexual immorality and crude talk should not even be named among believers. The song makes both its centerpiece.

    strains against Ephesians 5:3-4

    Paul calls believers away from crude joking and sexual coarseness, not as prudishness but because such language shapes how we see and treat people.
