ACC ~ Romans 3 v14

A MOUTH FULL OF CURSES. ORIGEN: Paul did not say that their lips were full of the poison of asps. For although many may be involved in sins of that kind, there are not many who are totally given over to the harm which that poison can do. On the other hand, there are many whose mouths are full of curses and bitterness. For whose mouth is so pure that he never curses? I am not speaking now of those who deserve to be cursed but of those whom God has not cursed, i.e., the just and innocent. For this vice is so prevalent and so automatic a trait of human weakness, especially with respect to those who are under or inferior to us, that many people would not even think to call it cursing. COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.

HURLING BITTERNESS. AMBROSIASTER: It is clear and obvious that evil people are always throwing curses and bitterness at the good in an attempt to harm and distract them. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

MALICIOUS TALK. PELAGIUS: There is not just one kind of malicious talk. What is said out of malice is without doubt said recklessly. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.
