Do everything without murmuring or questioning [the providence of God],

Do not complain against one another, believers, so that you will not be judged [for it]. Look! The Judge is standing right at the door.

These people are [habitual] murmurers, griping and complaining, following after their own desires [controlled by passion]; they speak arrogantly, [pretending admiration and] flattering people to gain an advantage.

Be hospitable to one another without complaint.

Both the Pharisees and the scribes began muttering and complaining, saying, “This man accepts and welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

When the people saw it, they all began muttering [in discontent], “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a [notorious] sinner.”

But Jesus, aware that His disciples were complaining about it, asked them, “Does this cause you to stumble and take offense?

Then Festus said, “King Agrippa and all you gentlemen present with us, you see this man [Paul] about whom all the Jewish people appealed to me, both at Jerusalem and here, loudly insisting that he ought not to live any longer.

And do not murmur [in unwarranted discontent], as some of them did—and were destroyed by the destroyer.
