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 ) .
