Error in checking if discord message contains item from a text file (discord.py)

so I'm trying to code a basic discord moderation bot for my server. What I'm attempting to do is have the bot check a message to see if it contains a word from a text file (in the same directory). Here is my code:

import os
from keep_alive import keep_alive
from datetime import datetime


client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author == client.user:
    return

  for word in bad_words:
    if message.content.contains(word):

      await message.delete()
      badwordEmbed = discord.Embed(title="You have sent a bad word!", description="", colour=0xff0000, timestamp=datetime.utcnow())
      await message.channel.send(embed=badwordEmbed)


keep_alive()
client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))

However, when I send a discord message containing a word from the .txt file, I get this error:

   if message.content.contains(word):
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'contains'

I have a feeling this is a basic error, but for now I'm not sure so I'd appreciate any help.

It's in you need:

if word in message.content:

Strings have a __contains__ method (note the underscores), but this is used by in.
