Psalms 15:3 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Nor taketh up a reproach, &c.— Nor throweth a disgrace upon his neighbour: namely, by dishonouring his wife or daughter. I understand it so, says Mr. Mudge, for two reasons; one, that the common translation comes too near the meaning of the first clause of this verse; the second, that otherwise something very essential to a good man, and which is usually made part of his character, (See Ezekiel 18.) would be omitted.

Psalms 15:3

3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
