That is right. And obviously, swear words are used sometimes when people speak evil.

But plenty of evil can be said without swear words too.

The question is not really about speaking evil, but using swear words.

[Berean]

 

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.4:39

The question is about swear words themselves. Are they corrupt no matter what you are saying.
