## Under fire

- Malice is the quiet wish to harm. Name it. Put it off.
- Bitterness, rage, and slander are flesh—not “honesty.”
- Be kind. Forgive as you were forgiven.

## Prayer

Father, put away malice from me. Amen.

## Truth

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Now the works of the flesh are evident: … enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy…

Those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
