Malice
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Matthew 15:17-20  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Because action follows thought, Jesus is against hatred, malice, and envy, all of which are included within "evil thoughts." Each is a form of the spirit of murder. His concern is not only with how we act but also why we act—not only in what we actually do but also in what we desire to do in our heart of hearts. To eat with unwashed hands does not defile the heart, but gluttony does. To eat with publicans and sinners does not defile, but self-righteousness does. What a person does against us does not defile us, but hatred, anger, and malice toward him does. John W. Ritenbaugh The Sixth Commandment (Part One) (1997)
