Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
All Commentaries on Ephesians 4:31 Go To Ephesians 4
Jerome
AD 420
Wrath is the outspewing of indignation in the mind when anger overflows. Bitterness and wrath are varieties of anger. Anger desires vengeance after rage has been subdued. Anger wishes to harm the one by whom it believes itself injured…. Vengeance wants to return evil to the one it considers guilty of injury. A Christian ought not to return evil for evil but “overcome evil with good.” .
