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
John Chrysostom
AD 407
All this bitterness is not merely to be cleansed but to be “put away” altogether. Why should anyone try to contain it or hold it in? Why keep the beast of anger around so as to have to watch it constantly? It is possible to banish it, to expel it and drive it off to some mountain place. .
