It is often associated with wickedness, evil intent, and a corrupt heart. In the biblical context, malice is considered a sin that stems from the fallen nature of humanity and is contrary to the character of God, who is love and righteousness. Biblical References: The Bible addresses malice in several passages, highlighting its destructive nature and the need for believers to rid themselves of such attitudes. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul frequently admonishes Christians to put away malice as part of their transformation in Christ. 1. <a href="/ephesians/4-31.htm">Ephesians 4:31</a> : "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice." This verse is part of Paul's exhortation to the Ephesians to live a life worthy of their calling, emphasizing the importance of removing negative and harmful behaviors from their lives. 2. <a href="/colossians/3-8.htm">Colossians 3:8</a> : "But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips." Here, Paul instructs the Colossian believers to discard their old sinful nature and embrace the new life in Christ, which is characterized by love and purity. 3. <a href="/1_peter/2.htm">1 Peter 2:1</a> : "Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander." The Apostle Peter encourages believers to grow in their salvation by eliminating malice and other sinful behaviors, fostering a community of love and sincerity. Theological Implications: Malice is fundamentally opposed to the teachings of Jesus Christ, who calls His followers to love their neighbors and even their enemies (<a href="/matthew/5-44.htm">Matthew 5:44</a>). The presence of malice in one's heart is indicative of a life not fully surrendered to the Holy Spirit, who produces the fruit of love, joy, peace, and kindness (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>). Practical Application: Christians are called to examine their hearts and actions regularly, seeking to identify and eradicate any form of malice. This involves a conscious effort to forgive others, seek reconciliation, and cultivate a spirit of compassion and empathy. The transformation from malice to love is a testament to the work of Christ in a believer's life and serves as a powerful witness to the world. Contrast with God’s Character: God's nature is inherently good, and He is described as being slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love (<a href="/psalms/103-8.htm">Psalm 103:8</a>). Malice, therefore, is antithetical to God's character and His desires for humanity. Believers are called to imitate God (<a href="/ephesians/5.htm">Ephesians 5:1</a>), which includes rejecting malice and embracing love and forgiveness. Conclusion: While malice is a common human failing, the Bible provides clear guidance for overcoming it through the power of the Holy Spirit and the transformative work of Jesus Christ. By aligning their lives with biblical teachings, Christians can reflect God's love and grace in a world often marked by hostility and ill will.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In the Apocrypha it is the translation of kakia, "evil," "badness" (The Wisdom of Solomon 12:10, 20; 16:14; 2 Maccabees 4:50, the Revised Version (British and American) "wickedness"); in Ecclesiasticus 27:30; 28:7, we have "malice" in the more restricted sense as the translation of menis, "confirmed anger."
