“For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. confusion: Gr. tumult or unquietness”
James 3:16 (KJV)
Commentary on James 3:16
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. Where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder (akatastasia, ἀκαταστασία) and every vile practice. Internal motives produce communal chaos. The church reflects its leaders' heart posture.Reformed ecclesiology values order and peace; James reveals that carnal motives unravel both. Tongue issues become structural disorder when unchecked.
