Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Ver. 31. Let all bitterness, &c.] If the godly man suddenly fall into hitter words, it maketh the Holy Ghost stir within him.
And clamour and evil speaking] These are as smoke to the eyes, and make the spirit ready to loathe and leave his lodging.
Be put away from you] When any lust ariseth, pray it down presently (saith one); for otherwise we are endangered by yielding to grieve, by grieving to resist, by resisting to quench, by quenching, maliciously to oppose the Spirit. Sin hath no bounds, but those which the Spirit puts, whom therefore we should not grieve.
