“‘For life and godliness.’ Observe that God has granted and continues to grant us ‘everything for life and godliness.’ He wants us to live in harmony with his Word by honoring, loving, and serving him. Eternal life is not an ideal that becomes reality when we depart from this earthly scene. On the contrary, we possess eternal life through our daily exercise of living for God and our fellow man. By obeying God’s will in our lives we practice godliness and experience the possession of eternal life.” (Page 246)

“In brief, malice is a desire to inflict pain, harm, or injury on our fellow man.” (Pages 78–79)
