Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Do all things without murmurings and questionings:
Do all things without protests and arguments;
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Do all things without murmurings and disputes,
Do all things without murmurings and disputings;
Do all things without murmurings - Γογγυσμων, και διαλογισμων· Without grumblings and altercations. Be patient in, and contented with, your work; and see that ye fall not out by the way.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings - In a quiet, peaceful, inoffensive manner. Let there be no brawls, strifes, or contentions. The object of the apostle here is, probably, to illustrate the sentiment which he had expressed in Philippians 2:3-5, where he had inculcated the general duties of humbleness of mind, and of esteeming others better than themselves, in order that that spirit might be fully manifested, he now enjoins the duty of doing everything in a quiet and gentle manner, and of avoiding any species of strife; see the notes at Ephesians 4:31-32.
2:14 Do all things - Not only without contention, Philippians 2:3 , but evenwithout murmurings and disputings - Which are real, though smaller, hinderances of love.
