We should—

• enlighten

• edify

• lift

• motivate

• elevate

• build and uplift

in all of our conversations and doings.

Now listen to the prophet’s words as I read them, regarding encouraging, lifting, and edifying:

“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” (Eph. 4:29.) – Ted E. Brewerton, “Profanity and Swearing,” Ensign (CR) May 1983
