Is it OK for a Christian to swear?

Is it ok for a Christian to swear as long as they do not take Christ's name in vain.
The reason for me asking this is that i swear under my breath on a daily basis and generally don't worry about it what are the views of others.

Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

James 3:10
From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

We all fall short at times but... God loves you. That's why he died for you. Ideally we should be trying to glorify him by our actions and words where possible ❤️

@1olderguy20 no, not something either my parents or grandparents ever did. I'm working on not swearing, it doesn't sound nice, especially not for a woman and as discussed, doesn't glorify God 😊
