Greek Commentary for James 3:10
The only use of this old impersonal verb (from χραω chraō) in the N.T. It is more like πρεπει prepei (it is appropriate) than δει dei (it is necessary). It is a moral incongruity for blessing and cursing to come out of the same mouth. [source]
“So to keep on happening,” not just “to be,” present middle infinitive of γινομαι ginomai f0). [source]
