COMMUNICATION . While ‘conversation’ in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] means manner of life, conduct , ‘communication’ means conversation, talk . So Colossians 3:6 ‘filthy communication’ (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘shameful speaking’) and elsewhere. The verb ‘to communicate’ is now used in a restricted sense, so that its occurrences in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , where it has the general meaning of making common cause with one, may be misunderstood. Cf. the Rhemish tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of John 4:9 : ‘For the Jewes do not communicate with the Samaritanes’ (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘have no dealings with’).
