From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 2. To speak evil of no man. Gr., "to blaspheme (blasfhmein, compare See Barnes "Mt 9:3") no one." Doddridge renders it, "Calumniate no one." The idea is, that we are not to slander, revile, or defame any one. We are not to say anything to any one, or of any one, which will do him injury. We are never to utter anything which we know to be false about him, or to give such a colouring to his words or conduct as to do him wrong in any way. We should always so speak to him and of him in such a way that he will have no reason to complain that he is an injured man.
