An excerpt from “Bible Reasons.com” entitled, “Malice” by Fritz Chery, states: “Malice is the intention or desire to do evil. It is the desire to inflict injury, harm, or suffering on someone else. Malice is a sin and it’s a big contributor to fighting and murder. A good example of malice was the first murder ever recorded. Cain killed his brother Abel because of jealousy and that jealousy created malice.” This article may be viewed at: https://biblereasons.com/malice [Reflection is based on the- Ephesians 4:31]
Application: “Friends are easy to love, but we are called to be a friend to the friendless. Kindness is selfless, compassionate, and merciful; its greatest power revealed in practice to our enemies and amongst the least of these. Love your neighbor; show kindness to EVERYONE.” [Source: What Does Biblical Kindness Look Like? - Geneva College, a Christian College in Pennsylvania (PA) ]
