1Pe 2:1-3 (WEB) Therefore putting away all malice, all guile, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
Who: Those maturing in faith.
What: Lay aside malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander; hunger for God’s Word.
Where: In the heart and speech that shape community.
Why: Sanctification requires removing sin patterns; justification frees you to grow.
When: When old habits or bitter words surface.
Prayer: Lord, strip away malice and hypocrisy from me. Give me a hunger for Your Word that nourishes and grows my faith. Amen.
