Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

Murmurings, [ gongusmoon (G1112)] - secret murmurings against your fellowmen, arising from selfishness: opposed to the example of Jesus just mentioned (cf. the word, John 7:12; Acts 6:1; 1 Peter 4:9; Jude 1:16).

Disputings, [ Dialogismoi (G1261)] - translated "doubting" in 1 Timothy 2:8, where see note; but here profitless "disputings" with our fellow-men, in relation to whom we are to be "blameless" (Philippians 2:15: cf. Mark 9:33). Disputings flow from "vain-glory" (Philippians 2:3); and abounded among the Aristotelian philosophers in Macedon, where Philippi was.
