The Torah strongly emphasizes pure speech and avoiding harmful words, which aligns with Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt conversation come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up.” Here are some key parallels: Exodus 20:7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.” This commandment highlights the importance of respectful speech. Leviticus 19:16 “Do not go about spreading slander among your people.” This directly warns against corrupt and harmful speech. Deuteronomy 5:20 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” This reinforces the idea of truthful and edifying communication. Proverbs 15:4 “A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.” This reflects the power of words to build up or tear down. These passages demonstrate how the Torah promotes honest, uplifting, and respectful speech, much like Paul’s teaching in Ephesians. This is how Paul and the NT text taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
