This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Murmurings (γογγυσμῶν)

See on Jud 1:16; see on Joh 6:41. Compare 1Co 10:10.

Disputings (διαλογισμῶν)

See on Mar 7:21. It is doubtful whether disputings is a legitimate meaning. The kindred verb διαλογίζομαι is invariably used in the sense of to reason or discuss, either with another or in one's own mind, Mat 16:7; Mat 21:25; Mar 2:6; Luk 12:17. The noun is sometimes rendered thoughts, as Mat 15:19; Mar 7:21; but with the same idea underlying it, of a suspicion or doubt, causing inward discussion. See 1Ti 2:8. Better here questionings or doubtings. See on Rom 14:1. The murmuring is the moral, the doubting the intellectual rebellion against God.
