(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
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.
