       Yet, continuing in our higher calling here, we are to have speech that is loving, pleasant, and kind. Paul goes the extra mile by saying that it should be “seasoned with salt.” So, it should be appealing to others, drawing them in in a way (a good way), where they care to ask more, where they have the inclination to question what is behind it. We should have a pleasant taste about us, where, when individuals experience what we have to say, they aren’t left with a bad taste in their mouth, a bitter taste, and where they wouldn’t mind if they didn’t so much as see us again. And notice, Paul expects that people are going to ask us questions due to our commendable behavior, due to our out of the ordinary pleasantness. For Paul states, “so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” People are going to want to know what our drive is—why we are the way that we are. And they will set out to ask questions.
