Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
Implicit information
What a person says can reveal his spiritual state. This is because his speech can be heard by other people. If a person is unable to control his actions when he is seen by others, he will not be able to control his actions when no one is looking. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/spirit and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
