Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
πάντα ποιεῖτε χωρὶς γογγυσμῶν καὶ διαλογισμῶν,

1 Corinthians 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
1 Peter 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
1 Peter 4:9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
the apostle here subjoins to his exhortation to condescension and humility, a dissuasive from the opposite vices, moving them to do all that was incumbent on them as Christians without private mutterings, secret whisperings, and complainings, which might argue their impatience under the yoke of Christ, while put upon doing or suffering such things; either reflecting on God’s providence, as the Israelites of old, Num 11:1, &c.; 1Co 10:10; reckoning they had hard measure: or rather, (here considering the context), grudging at others, as the Greeks and Jews had done, Luk 5:30 Joh 6:41,42 Ac 6:1; yea, and some of the disciples were found guilty of this ill temper against their Master, Joh 6:61. Christian charity disallows grudgings, 1Pe 4:9 Jud 1:10; and also disputings; hot and eager contests and quarrellings about those things wherein the life and main business of religion is not concerned, but the unity of the Spirit of holiness is opposed, Mat 18:1 Mar 9:33 Luk 9:46 Rom 14:1 2Co 12:20, with 1Ti 1:6 2:8.
