In Ephesians 5:4, the nominative singular feminine form occurs in a prohibition alongside filthiness and crude joking; the APB renders the clause, “Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ephesians 5:4, the APB includes “foolish talk” in a list of things that are “out of place.” This rendering confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than isolating every nuance of the term.
