James 3:10

10 ex ipso ore procedit benedictio et maledictio non oportet fratres mei haec ita fieri

James 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

James 3:10

Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing
Which is not only a contradiction, but unnatural, as well as wicked and sinful:

my brethren, these things ought not so to be:
in any, and much less in professors of religion: such things are unbecoming men, are a scandal upon human nature, and exceeding unworthy of the Christian name; see ( Psalms 50:16 Psalms 50:19 Psalms 50:20 ) .

James 3:10 In-Context

8 linguam autem nullus hominum domare potest inquietum malum plena veneno mortifero
9 in ipsa benedicimus Dominum et Patrem et in ipsa maledicimus homines qui ad similitudinem Dei facti sunt
10 ex ipso ore procedit benedictio et maledictio non oportet fratres mei haec ita fieri
11 numquid fons de eodem foramine emanat dulcem et amaram aquam
12 numquid potest fratres mei ficus olivas facere aut vitis ficus sic neque salsa dulcem potest facere aquam
