Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
But now--that ye are no longer living in them.
ye also--like other believers; answering to "ye also" (Col 3:7) like other unbelievers formerly.
put off--"Do ye also put away all these," namely, those just enumerated, and those which follow [ALFORD].
anger, wrath--(See on Eph 4:31).
blasphemy--rather, "reviling," "evil-speaking," as it is translated in Eph 4:31.
filthy communication--The context favors the translation, "abusive language," rather than impure conversation. "Foul language" best retains the ambiguity of the original. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
But now ye also put off all these - All these which follow, as being also inconsistent with the Christian calling.
Anger, wrath - Notes, Eph 4:26.
Malice - Notes, Eph 4:31.
Blasphemy - Notes, Mat 9:3. The word here seems to mean all injurious and calumnious speaking - whether against God or man.
Filthy communication out of your mouth - Lewd, indecent, and immodest discourse; Notes, Eph 4:29. The conversation of the pagan everywhere abounds with this. A pure method of conversation among men is the fruit of Christianity. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Put off (ἀπόθεσθε)
Compare Rom 13:12; Eph 4:22, Eph 4:25; Heb 12:1; Jam 1:21; Pe1 2:1.
Anger, wrath (ὀργὴν, θυμὸν)
See on Joh 3:36.
Malice (κακίαν)
See on naughtiness, Jam 1:21.
Blasphemy (βλασφημίαν)
See on Mar 7:22. Compare Rom 3:8; Rom 14:16; Co1 4:13; Eph 4:31. Rev. railing.
Filthy communication (αἰσχρολογίαν)
Only here in the New Testament. Not merely filthy talking, as A.V., but foul-mouthed abuse. Rev., shameful speaking.
Out of your mouth
Construe with the preceding word. As Col 2:20-22 suggests Christ's words in Matthew 15:1-20, this phrase suggests Mat 15:11, Mat 15:18. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Wrath - Is lasting anger. Filthy discourse - And was there need to warn even these saints of God against so gross and palpable a sin as this? O what is man, till perfect love casts out both fear and sin. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
But now ye also put on all these - See on Eph 4:22 (note). Being now converted, sin had no more dominion over them.
Anger, wrath, etc - They had not only lived in the evils mentioned Col 3:5, but also in those enumerated here; and they had not only laid aside the former, but they had laid aside the latter also. They retained no bosom, no easily besetting, sin. They were risen with Christ, and they sought the things which were above.
Blasphemy - The word seems here to mean injurious and calumnious speaking. |
31 Let [142] all [3956] bitterness [4088], and [2532] wrath [2372], and [2532] anger [3709], and [2532] clamour [2906], and [2532] evil speaking [988], be put away [142] from [575] you [5216], with [4862] all [3956] malice [2549]:
31 Let [142] all [3956] bitterness [4088], and [2532] wrath [2372], and [2532] anger [3709], and [2532] clamour [2906], and [2532] evil speaking [988], be put away [142] from [575] you [5216], with [4862] all [3956] malice [2549]:
7 In [1722] the which [3739] ye [5210] also [2532] walked [4043] some time [4218], when [3753] ye lived [2198] in [1722] them [846].
29 Let [4550] no [3361] [3956] corrupt [4550] communication [3056] proceed [1607] out of [1537] your [5216] mouth [4750], but [235] that which [1536] is good [18] to [4314] the use [5532] of edifying [3619], that [2443] it may minister [1325] grace [5485] unto the hearers [191].
3 And [2532], behold [2400], certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] said [2036] within [1722] themselves [1438], This [3778] man blasphemeth [987].
31 Let [142] all [3956] bitterness [4088], and [2532] wrath [2372], and [2532] anger [3709], and [2532] clamour [2906], and [2532] evil speaking [988], be put away [142] from [575] you [5216], with [4862] all [3956] malice [2549]:
26 Be ye angry [3710], and [2532] sin [264] not [3361]: let [1931] not [3361] the sun [2246] go down [1931] upon [1909] your [5216] wrath [3950]:
18 But [1161] those things which [3588] proceed [1607] out of [1537] the mouth [4750] come forth [1831] from [1537] the heart [2588]; and they [2548] defile [2840] the man [444].
11 Not [3756] that which goeth [1525] into [1519] the mouth [4750] defileth [2840] a man [444]; but [235] that which cometh [1607] out of [1537] the mouth [4750], this [5124] defileth [2840] a man [444].
20 Wherefore [3767] if [1487] ye be dead [599] with [4862] Christ [5547] from [575] the rudiments [4747] of the world [2889], why [5101], as though [5613] living [2198] in [1722] the world [2889], are ye subject to ordinances [1379],
21 (Touch [680] not [3361]; taste [1089] not [3366]; handle [2345] not [3366];
22 Which [3739] all [3956] are [2076] to [1519] perish [5356] with the using [671];) after [2596] the commandments [1778] and [2532] doctrines [1319] of men [444]?
31 Let [142] all [3956] bitterness [4088], and [2532] wrath [2372], and [2532] anger [3709], and [2532] clamour [2906], and [2532] evil speaking [988], be put away [142] from [575] you [5216], with [4862] all [3956] malice [2549]:
13 Being defamed [987], we intreat [3870]: we are made [1096] as [5613] the filth [4027] of the world [2889], and are the offscouring [4067] of all things [3956] unto [2193] this day [737].
16 Let [987] not [3361] then [3767] your [5216] good [18] be evil spoken of [987]:
8 And [2532] not [3361] rather, (as [2531] we be slanderously reported [987], and [2532] as [2531] some [5100] affirm [5346] that we [2248] say [3004] [3754] Let us do [4160] evil [2556], that [2443] good [18] may come [2064]? whose [3739] damnation [2917] is [2076] just [1738].
22 Thefts [2829], covetousness [4124], wickedness [4189], deceit [1388], lasciviousness [766], an evil [4190] eye [3788], blasphemy [988], pride [5243], foolishness [877]:
21 Wherefore [1352] lay apart [659] all [3956] filthiness [4507] and [2532] superfluity [4050] of naughtiness [2549], and receive [1209] with [1722] meekness [4240] the engrafted [1721] word [3056], which [3588] is able [1410] to save [4982] your [5216] souls [5590].
36 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] the Son [5207] hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222]: and [1161] he that believeth not [544] the Son [5207] shall [3700] not [3756] see [3700] life [2222]; but [235] the wrath [3709] of God [2316] abideth [3306] on [1909] him [846].
1 Wherefore [3767] laying aside [659] all [3956] malice [2549], and [2532] all [3956] guile [1388], and [2532] hypocrisies [5272], and [2532] envies [5355], and [2532] all [3956] evil speakings [2636],
21 Wherefore [1352] lay apart [659] all [3956] filthiness [4507] and [2532] superfluity [4050] of naughtiness [2549], and receive [1209] with [1722] meekness [4240] the engrafted [1721] word [3056], which [3588] is able [1410] to save [4982] your [5216] souls [5590].
1 Wherefore [5105] seeing we also [2532] are [2192] compassed about [4029] [2254] with so great [5118] a cloud [3509] of witnesses [3144], let [659] us [2249] lay aside [659] every [3956] weight [3591], and [2532] the sin [266] which doth so easily beset [2139] us, and let us run [5143] with [1223] patience [5281] the race [73] that is set before [4295] us [2254],
25 Wherefore [1352] putting away [659] lying [5579], speak [2980] every man [1538] truth [225] with [3326] his [846] neighbour [4139]: for [3754] we are [2070] members [3196] one of another [240].
22 That ye [5209] put off [659] concerning [2596] the former [4387] conversation [391] the old [3820] man [444], which [3588] is corrupt [5351] according [2596] to the deceitful [539] lusts [1939];
12 The night [3571] is far spent [4298], [1161] the day [2250] is at hand [1448]: let us [659] therefore [3767] cast off [659] the works [2041] of darkness [4655], and [2532] let us put on [1746] the armour [3696] of light [5457].
5 Mortify [3499] therefore [3767] your [5216] members [3196] which [3588] are upon [1909] the earth [1093]; fornication [4202], uncleanness [167], inordinate affection [3806], evil [2556] concupiscence [1939], and [2532] covetousness [4124], which [3748] is [2076] idolatry [1495]:
22 That ye [5209] put off [659] concerning [2596] the former [4387] conversation [391] the old [3820] man [444], which [3588] is corrupt [5351] according [2596] to the deceitful [539] lusts [1939];
