John Gill Commentary James 3:16

"For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed." — James 3:16 (ASV)

Ver. 16 For where envying and strife is Where these are cherished in the heart, and especially where they break out into action, in families, neighbourhoods, states, or churches:

there is confusion and every evil work ; these occasion disturbances, raise uneasiness, make disquietude, and cause tumults whenever they appear; and put persons upon doing everything that is wicked, to gratify such insatiable lusts.
