murmurings--secret murmurings and complaints against your fellow men arising from selfishness: opposed to the example of Jesus just mentioned (compare the use of the word, John 7:12-13; Acts 6:1; 1 Peter 4:9; Judges 1:16).
disputings--The Greek is translated "doubting" in 1 Timothy 2:8. But here referring to profitless "disputings" with our fellow men, in relation to whom we are called on to be "blameless and harmless" (Philippians 2:15): so the Greek is translated, Mark 9:33-34. These disputings flow from "vain glory" reprobated (Philippians 2:3); and abounded among the Aristotelian philosophers in Macedon, where Philippi was.
