This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Put off (ἀπόθεσθε)

Compare Rom 13:12; Eph 4:22, Eph 4:25; Heb 12:1; Jam 1:21; 1Pe 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; 1Co 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.
