Barnes' Notes
Let all bitterness - see the notes on Ephesians 4:2.
And wrath - The word here does not differ essentially from anger.
Anger - see the note on Ephesians 4:26. All cherished, unreasonable anger.
And clamour - Noise, disorder, high words; such as men use in a brawl, or when they are excited. Christians are to be calm and serious. Harsh contentions and strifes; hoarse brawls and tumults, are to be unknown among them.
And evil-speaking - Slander, backbiting, angry expressions, tale-bearing, reproaches, etc.
With all malice - Rather, "with all evil" - ́ͅ kakia . Every kind and sort of evil is to be put away, and you are to manifest only that which is good.
