Ephesians 4:31
_ _ bitterness — both of spirit and of speech: opposed to “kind.”
_ _ wrath — passion for a time: opposed to “tender-hearted.” Whence Bengel translates for “wrath,” harshness.
_ _ anger — lasting resentment: opposed to “forgiving one another.”
_ _ clamour — compared by Chrysostom to a horse carrying anger for its rider: “Bridle the horse, and you dismount its rider.” “Bitterness” begets “wrath”; “wrath,” “anger”; “anger,” “clamor”; and “clamor,” the more chronic “evil-speaking,” slander, insinuations, and surmises of evil. “Malice” is the secret root of all: “fires fed within, and not appearing to by-standers from without, are the most formidable” [Chrysostom]. |
Ephesians 4:31
Let all bitterness — The height of settled anger, opposite to kindness, Ephesians 4:32. And wrath — Lasting displeasure toward the ignorant, and them that are out of the way, opposite to tenderheartedness. And anger — The very first risings of disgust at those that injure you, opposite to forgiving one another. And clamour — Or bawling. "I am not angry," says one; "but it is my way to speak so." Then unlearn that way: it is the way to hell. And evil speaking — Be it in ever so mild and soft a tone, or with ever such professions of kindness. Here is a beautiful retrogradation, beginning with the highest, and descending to the lowest, degree of the want of love. |
