1st Peter 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all
guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
Sometimes we read words in the Bible and we just casually
pass them by without ever looking at them closely and examining them. The word malice basicly means holding a
grudge or wishing someone bad fortune.
When Peter wrote this verse it preceded:
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the
word, that ye may grow thereby.
Before we can grow spiritually we need to get rid of some
things that hinder us. Malice might just
be one of the most destructive.
The word malice comes from the same root word as
malignant. When we wish ill toward
others it is like a cancer to us spiritually just like a malignancy is to the
body. It will eat away at our
spirituality.
Lay aside any ill feelings you have toward others. You will be pleasantly surprised at how you
will begin to grow in grace.
