They cherished the most bitter hatred against other peoples, and even hated their own countrymen who did not conform to their ideas. In all this they were violating the law, "you shall not murder."
The spirit of hatred and revenge originated with Satan. Whoever cherishes malice or unkindness is cherishing the same spirit, and it's fruit is death!
God has shown how high a value He places upon every person, and He gives no liberty to speak contempt of another. We shall see faults and weaknesses in those about us, but God claims every person as His own. Even the most degraded are to be treated with respect and tenderness.
God will hold us accountable for even one word spoken in contempt of one person for whom Christ has died.
