<p>3:14 <i>Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness- </i>This and Rom. 3:16 especially could be appropriate to the descriptions of the rejected at the day of judgment. The idea being that we are all rejected, for we are all sinners; but by grace, the believers in Christ have been declared righteous. We seem to have Paul declaring the sinfulness of humanity in the most graphic terms he can- quoting verses which immediately trigger the reaction: &ldquo;But that&rsquo;s not quite true of me. I may be a sinner, but I don&rsquo;t do&nbsp;<i>that</i>&rdquo;, e.g. cursing and blaspheming all day long. I think this is intentional; for Paul writes very sensitive to his audience&rsquo;s likely reaction. It&rsquo;s similar to how he speaks about the grossest moral sins such as lesbianism in chapter 1, and then proceeds to count us all guilty in essence. It&rsquo;s a powerful device to try to highlight to us all the extent of human sinfulness.&nbsp;</p>
