James 3:16 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion. — Where emulation, zeal, and rivalry exist, there also are sedition, anarchy, restless disturbance, and every villainous act. The whole state is evil, and utterly contrary to the rule of the Gospel —

“For words and names let angry zealots fight:
Whose life is in the wrong can ne’er be right.”

James 3:16

16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusiong and every evil work.
