Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
Read James 3:10 Using Other Translations
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!
What does James 3:10 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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
