"Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby…" I Peter 2:1-2
Malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy and gossip have been common among
Christians who are of the flesh. Hence the need for the pure milk of the word,
like newborn babes. Only by leaving these demonic attitudes, can they mature in
their faith and receive salvation.
