SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:14
¶ Haced todo sin murmuraciones o dudas,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Philippians 2:14
Verse 14. Do all things without murmurings] goggusmwn, kai dialogismwn? Without grumblings and altercations. Be patient in, and contented with, your work; and see that ye fall not out by the way.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Do all things , etc.] Not evil things, these are to be abhorred, shunned, and avoided, even all appearance of them, they are not to be done, even the sake of good; nor all indifferent things at all times, and under all circumstances, when the peace and edification of others are in danger of being hurt by so doing; but all good things, all that are agreeable to the righteous law and good will of God; all those good things which accompany salvation, as hearing the word, and attendance on ordinances: all church affairs relating to public worship, private conference, everything at church meetings, and which concern the discipline and laws of Christ's house; and all things that are civilly, morally, spiritually, and evangelically good; even all things that God would have done, or we would desire should be done to us by fellow creatures and fellow Christians: let all these be done without murmurings ; either against God and Christ, as if anything hard and severe was enjoined, when Christ's yoke is easy, and his burden light, ( Matthew 11:30), and none of his commands grievous; and because their presence is not always enjoyed, and that communion and comfort in ordinances had, which may be desired: or against the ministers of the Gospel, in whose power it is not to give grace, comfort, and spiritual refreshment; any more than it was in Moses and Aaron to give bread and water to the Israelites in the wilderness, for which they murmured against them, and in so doing against God himself, ( Exodus 16:2,7); or against one another, because of superior enjoyment in nature, providence, and grace; but all things, both of a moral, civil, and religious nature, with respect to God, and one another, should be done readily, freely, cheerfully, and heartily; and also without disputings ; or without hesitations, as the Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions render it. Whatever appears to be agreeable to the will of God, should be done at once without dispute upon it, or hesitation about it, however disagreeable it may be to carnal sense and reason; the will of God is not to be disputed, nor flesh and blood to be consulted, in opposition to it; nor should the saints enter into any carnal reasonings, and contentious disputations, either at their public or private meetings, but do all they do decently, and in order, and in the exercise of brotherly love.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-18 - We must be diligent in the use of all the means which lead to ou salvation, persevering therein to the end. With great care, lest, with all our advantages, we should come short. Work out your salvation, for it is God who worketh in you. This encourages us to do our utmost because our labour shall not be in vain: we must still depend on the grace of God. The working of God's grace in us, is to quicken an engage our endeavours. God's good-will to us, is the cause of his goo work in us. Do your duty without murmurings. Do it, and do not fin fault with it. Mind your work, and do not quarrel with it. By peaceableness; give no just occasion of offence. The children of God should differ from the sons of men. The more perverse others are, the more careful we should be to keep ourselves blameless and harmless. The doctrine and example of consistent believers will enlighten others, an direct their way to Christ and holiness, even as the light-house warn mariners to avoid rocks, and directs their course into the harbour. Le us try thus to shine. The gospel is the word of life, it makes known to us eternal life through Jesus Christ. Running, denotes earnestness an vigour, continual pressing forward; labouring, denotes constancy, an close application. It is the will of God that believers should be muc in rejoicing; and those who are so happy as to have good ministers have great reason to rejoice with them. (Php 2:19-30)
Greek Textus Receptus
παντα 3956 ποιειτε 4160 5720 χωρις 5565 γογγυσμων 1112 και 2532 διαλογισμων 1261
Vincent's NT Word Studies
14. Murmurings (goggusmwn). See on Jude 16; John vi. 41. Compare 1 Corinthians x. 10.
Disputings (dialogismwn). See on Mark vii. 21. It is doubtful whether disputings is a legitimate meaning. The kindred verb dialogizomai is invariably used in the sense of to reason or discuss, either with another or in one's own mind, Matt. xvi. 7; xxi. 25; Mark ii. 6; Luke xii. 17. The noun is sometimes rendered thoughts, as Matt. xv. 19; Mark vii. 21; but with the same idea underlying it, of a suspicion or doubt, causing inward discussion. See 1 Tim. ii. 8. Better here questionings or doubtings. See on Rom. xiv. 1. The murmuring is the moral, the doubting the intellectual rebellion against God.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
2:14 {Without murmurings} (cwris goggusmwn). See on #Ac 6:1 for this late onomatopoetic word from gogguzw, to mutter, to grumble. {Disputings} (dialogism"n). Or questionings as in #Lu 24:38. The grumblings led to disputes.
