For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.” Image Exegesis: Zing!

... sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no ...

With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice; and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God, for Christ's sake, has forgiven you.
The best way to win against the intolerable is to tolerate them, for this they have seldom dealt with. Your indulgence may soften their malice and open their eyes to more honorable ways.
Of course, Canadians are different. There is no malice in us. We are the family doctor whom no one has called in for consultation. We are the children of the midday who see all in the clear, shallow light.
It is remarkable by how much a pinch of malice enhances the penetrating power of an idea or an opinion. Our ears, it seems, are wonderfully attuned to sneers and evil reports about our fellow men.
Our enemies are our evil deeds and their memories, our pride, our selfishness, our malice, our passions, which by conscience or by habit pursue us with a relentlessness past the power of figure to express.
Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.
... ), and you show deference to no one (hint: trap coming.....for Rome requires showing deference to the Emperor); for you do not regard people with partiality (alarm sounding, warning: trap ahead).” “Therefore......tell us what you think.....” Jesus, “aware of their malice,” first notes that he knows, they are “testing” him, that is, “baiting” him. Then Jesus goes on to issue a brilliant response: “Show me the coin used for the tax,” he says. They bring out a coin. The coin they produce ...
... minutes ago. They need your help, your love and your guidance. They need to see Christ's presence lived out before them. B. In Ancient Israel, six cities were founded as "cities of refuge." The law of Moses declared that if one person killed another, without malice or premeditation, he/she could flee to one of those cities and live there free without coming to any harm until the death of the high priest. Then that person was free to go to home without any fear. The rabbis have an interesting tradition about ...
... those earthly things that we must surrender. Paul wrote: “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other.” We could discuss each item on Paul’s list, but there is really no need to. We are all very well aware of how these vices can destroy lives and ...
... The sorrow of past sufferings will cease because of the comfort of the Lord. The new era is described in terms of physical health and longevity, the enjoyment of God’s benefits in physical ways, answers to prayer, and peace and the absence of malice and corruption. Even their children will know the Lord and will be blessed by him. Those who returned from exile experienced these blessings to some extent; however, many of them were only partially realized. Jesus reaffirmed that it is the Father’s will to ...
