2. 2 Samuel 16:7

   And as he yelled curses, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you worthless man of bloodshed!

   ›Commentary on 2 Samuel 16:72 voices

   “It is, however, only the confines of the district that are here meant. Shimei, . . . a man of the family of Saul--The misfortune of his family, and the occupation by David of what they considered their rightful possessions, afforded a natural, if not a justifiable cause for this ebullition of rude insults and violence.

   “Come out - Rather, “Go out,” namely, of the land, into banishment. Compare Jer 29:16. Thou bloody man - See the margin. The Lord’s word to David 1Ch 22:8 was probably known to Shimei and now cast in David’s teeth by him, with special reference to the innocent blood of Uriah.

3. Mark 15:29

   And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

   ›Commentary on Mark 15:292 voices

   “The passage we have now read, is one of those which show us the infinite love of Christ toward sinners. The sufferings described in it would fill our minds with mingled horror and compassion, if they had been inflicted on one who was only a man like ourselves. But when we reflect that the sufferer was the eternal Son of God, we are lost in wonder and amazement.

   Those who passed by wagged their heads, mocking the crucified, fulfilling the Scripture: "When they see me, they shake their heads."

4. 1 Corinthians 5:11

   But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

   ›Commentary on 1 Corinthians 5:112 voices

   “There is less danger in associating with open worldlings than with carnal professors. Here, as in Eph 5:3, 5, "covetousness" is joined with "fornication": the common fount of both being "the fierce and ever fiercer longing of the creature, which has turned from God, to fill itself with the inferior objects of sense" [TRENCH, Greek Synonyms of the New Testament].

   “Who is named a brother - That is, a Christian; especially if a member of the same congregation. Rapacious - Guilty of oppression, extortion, or any open injustice. No, not to eat with him - Which is the lowest degree of familiarity.

5. 1 Timothy 6:4

   he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and semantics, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions,

   ›Commentary on 1 Timothy 6:42 voices

   “He is proud--literally, "wrapt in smoke"; filled with the fumes of self-conceit (1Ti 3:6) while "knowing nothing," namely, of the doctrine which is according to godliness (1Ti 6:3), though arrogating pre-eminent knowledge (1Ti 1:7). doting about--literally, "sick about"; the opposite of "wholesome" (1Ti 6:3).

   “True knowledge, then, consists in the understanding of Christ, which Paul terms the wisdom of God hidden in a mystery, which "the natural man receiveth not," the doctrine of the cross; of which if any man "taste," he will not accede to the disputations and quibbles of proud and puffed-up men, who go into matters of which they have no perception. For the truth is unsophisticated; and "the word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart," as the same apostle declares, being easy of comprehension to those who are obedient.

6. 1 Peter 3:9

   Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

   ›Commentary on 1 Peter 3:92 voices

   “Be courteous - To all men. Courtesy is such a behaviour toward equals and inferiors as shows respect mixed with love. Ye are called to inherit a blessing - Therefore their railing cannot hurt you; and, by blessing them, you imitate God, who blesses you.

   “Not rendering evil for evil - See the Mat 5:39, Mat 5:44 notes; Rom 12:17 note. Or railing for railing - See the notes at 1Ti 6:4. Compare Mar 15:29; Luk 23:39. But contrariwise blessing - In a spirit contrary to this. See the notes at Mat 5:44. Knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing - “Knowing that you were called to be Christians in order that you should obtain a blessing infinite and eternal in the heavens. Expecting such a blessing yourselves, you should be ready to scatter blessings on all others.

7. 2 Peter 2:11

   Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.

   ›Commentary on 2 Peter 2:112 voices

   “Judgment belongs to God, not the angels. How great is the dignity of the saints who, as Christ's assessors, shall hereafter judge angels! Meanwhile, railing judgments, though spoken with truth, against dignities, as being uttered irreverently, are of the nature of "blasphemies" (Greek, 1Co 4:4, 5).

   “Whereas angels - The object, by the reference to angels here, is to show that they, even when manifesting the greatest zeal in a righteous cause, and even when opposing others, did not make use of reproachful terms, or of harsh and violent language. It is not known precisely to what Peter alludes here, nor on what the statement here is based.
