Calvin's on Romans 3:14

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

14. Then he says, that their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness (101) — a vice of an opposite character to the former; but the meaning is, that they are in every way full of wickedness; for if they speak fair, they deceive and blend poison with their flatteries; but if they draw forth what they have in their hearts, bitterness and cursing stream out. (101) Psalms 10:7 . Paul corrects the order of the words as found in the Septuagint, and gives the Hebrew more exactly, but retains the word “bitterness,” by which the Septuagint have rendered מרמות , which means deceit, or rather, mischievous deceit. Some think that it ought to be מררות , “bitterness;” but there is no copy in its favor. — Ed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-16" class="com-number"
