1 Peter 2:1

1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

Ver. 1. All malice and all guile ] Out with this leaven utterly, 1 Corinthians 5:7 . Howsoever we otherwise fail, let us not in these be found faulty at all. These are not the spots of God’s children, Deuteronomy 32:5 . They are without gall, without guile, children that will not lie: they do not wallow or allow themselves in any kind of these evils; which are therefore plurally expressed.
