EPHESIANS - Chapter 4 - Verse 31

Verse 31. Let all bitterness. See Barnes "Eph 4:2".

 

And wrath. The word here does not differ essentially from anger.

Anger See Barnes "Eph 4:26".

All cherished, unreasonable anger. And clamour. Noise, disorder, high words; such as men use in a brawl, or when they are excited. Christians are to be calm and serious. Harsh contentions and strifes; hoarse brawls and tumults, are to be unknown among them.

And evil speaking. Slander, backbiting, angry expressions, tale-bearing, reproaches, etc.

With all malice. Rather, "with all evil"—kakia. Every kind and sort of evil is to be put away, and you are to manifest only that which is good.

{c} "and wrath" Col 3:8 {d} "be put away" Tit 3:2
