1 JOHN II, 11. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1 JOHN III, 13. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1 JOHN IV, 20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 6. MALICE FORBIDDEN. EPH. IV, 31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice. COL. III, 8. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 1 PETER II, 1. Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings. TITUS III, 3. For we ourselves also were sometime foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 3 JOHN, 9. I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not. 10. Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. JAMES III, 14. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 7. ANGER FORBIDDEN. ECCL. VII, 9. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. PROV. XIV, 17. He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. PROV. XVI, 32. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. PROV. XXIX, 22. An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgressions. MATT. V, 22. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. EPH. IV, 31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice. 8. WRATH FORBIDDEN. PROV. XXIV, 29. Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his works. PROV. XIV, 29. He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
