1. All malice [ill-will, evil in general].
2. All guile [deceit].
3. Hypocrisy [pretended holiness].
4. Envy [wishing others harm to gain something].
5. All evil speaking [slander].

Some of us are not so lucky to be perfect..(Jim)...and these are worthy goals to live by. I make sure not to share any of these things with my mouth where other's can hear..but I tell ya..I hit my knees in prayer and lay it all out at God's feet..I have screamed and wallowed and asked Him questions so disrespectful..my earth parents would have washed my mouth out with soap over!
But..Blessed Assurance..God still loves me and forgives me and encourages me to let stuff go and not pick any of it up when laid at His feet.

I am working on it and trying. That is all any of us can do. I strive to not lie, not wish another evil, I admit I am definitely not one of the saintly few-far from it!, I do not wish anyone harm nor do I wish for what they have-everything comes with it's own price and burden, I do not like evil or wrong speech.

No, wish I could, but I'm human, all I can do is my best.I don't think any person can, and if someone says seriously that they can then they are dillusional. Not saying I won't TRY. It's not a matter of will, more of ability.

I'd love to say I could, but probably not. everyone is guilty, even if it's just a little. The best we can do is try not to do those things and try to be a better person everyday.

Now that is a list to keep on my fridge! Nice concise way to convict of sin and try to maintain a Godly focus. Thanks for sharing. Although these things are self evident we often need reminding.

depending on the circumstances that will be happening in everyday life. if all of my feelings are in good terms, its going to be easy. unless nothing in my environment will make my way of survival in jeopardy i can lay all of it aside

I try to every day. I am not always successful, but it is the striving that counts.

I will continue to do these things as long as I am attatched to my flesh. However, I will have shame in these things.

I won't. I'm not saying that I'm perfect but I don't like doing those things.

I won't/can't do all of that or even most of it. Anyone who says they can is a liar or a saint.
