Contextual Overview

¹ How then is the Jew better off? or what profit is there in circumcision? ² Much in every way: first of all because the words of God were given to them. ³ And if some have no faith, will that make the faith of God without effect? ⁴ In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue; as it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to be right when you are judged. ⁵ But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)? ⁶ In no way: because if it is so, how is God able to be the judge of all the world? ⁷ But if, because I am untrue, God being seen to be true gets more glory, why am I to be judged as a sinner? ⁸ Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment. ⁹ What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin; ¹⁰ As it is said in the holy Writings, There is not one who does righteousness;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. These words are taken from Psalms 10:7, by cursing is meant, cursing of God, which is sometimes internal with the heart, and sometimes external with the mouth, as here; and of all good men, though without cause, and to no purpose with respect to the persons they curse, since God has blessed them, and they are blessed, and greatly to their own detriment, for, in the issue, their curses will be turned against themselves. There is also a cursing of superiors, as parents, masters, magistrates, kings, and governors; which is a sore evil, and attended with bad consequences; likewise of themselves, and their fellow creatures: and "the mouth [being] full [of it]", denotes the frequency of the sin; scarce anything else comes out of it but cursing; which discovers the sad corruption of the heart; "for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh", Matthew 12:34. By "bitterness" is meant, either sin in general, which is "an evil and bitter [thing]", Jeremiah 2:19, in its nature and effects; or sinful words, such as oaths, curses, imprecations, all wrathful and deceitful words.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Whose mouth - Psalms 10:7. The apostle has not quoted this literally, but has given the sense. David in the psalm is describing his bitter enemies.

Cursing - Reproachful and opprobrious language, such as Shimei used in relation to David; 2 Samuel 16:5, 2 Samuel 16:7-8.

Bitterness - In the psalm, deceits. The word “bitterness” is used to denote severity, harshness, cruelty; reproachful and malicious words.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Romans 3:14. Whose mouth is full of cursing, &c.] They never speak but in profane oaths, blasphemies, and malice.
