Bebe's interpretation
Hatred and slander, often hidden behind lies, are destructive forces in the lives of those who harbor them. The Bible teaches that hatred stirs up strife, and slander damages the reputation of others. The one who hides such emotions behind deceitful speech is not only harming others but also bringing harm to themselves. The Apostle Paul warns that those who practice hatred, slander, and deception will not inherit the kingdom of God. As followers of Christ, we are called to put away hatred and to speak words that build up rather than tear down. Our words and attitudes should reflect God’s love, forgiveness, and grace. When we allow the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts, He helps us to overcome bitterness and hatred, replacing them with love and truth.
