ACC ~ Romans 3 v15

THE FEET THAT MOVE TO UNDERMINE THE LIFE OF THE SOUL. ORIGEN: This may seem to be an infrequent crime. But we take it to include not only those who shed blood by killing the body but also those who by some deception or other separate the soul from God. … For if the one who separates the body from the soul which gives it life is called a murderer, how much more truly will the one who separates the soul from the true life, which is God, be called a murderer?

Feet in this passage refers to the way we live our life, as the prophet says: “My feet had almost stumbled.”COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.

SWIFT TO MURDER THE PROPHETS. AMBROSIASTER: Scripture says this about the murder of the prophets, whom they killed without hesitation—“slow to do good but swift to murder.” COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

PELAGIUS: Either Paul is referring to murderers or he means those who kill souls by flattery, which is why Paul said in the Acts of the Apostles: “I am innocent of the blood of all of you, for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.”PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.
