Things that are not "fitting" are ones which are not suitable, right or proper. For reborn believers, Christians, these include anything that is unclean - including sexual sins or words that are unloving and harmful to others. Love fulfills the Law when it does no harm to others. Instead, we must love in word, deed, and thought. What is in our heart does come out in what we say and do, and God sees that and desires to change us by His Spirit as we make the right choices. He is called alongside to help us, and will.
Ephesians 5:3-4
3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
