The Concept of a Forgiving God
Six vices
Bitterness
Wrath
And Anger
And Clamour
And evil speaking
With all Malice
4:31–32.
Believers are to get rid of the six vices of bitterness, rage (thymos, “outbursts of anger”), anger (orgē, “settled feeling of anger”), brawling (kraugē, “shouting or clamor”), slander (blasphēmia), and malice (kakia, “ill will, wickedness”).
Several of these vices are also listed in Colossians 3:8.
The positive commands are three: (1) be kind (chrēstoi, lit., “what is suitable or fitting to a need”); (2) be compassionate (eusplanchnoi; used elsewhere in the NT only in 1 Peter 3:8; cf.
splanchnoi, “inner emotions of affection,” in 2 Cor.
6:12; 7:15; Phil.
1:8; 2:1; Col. 3:12; Phile.
7, 12, 20; 1 John 3:17); (3) be forgiving (lit., “being gracious,” charizomenoi, the participle from the verb charizomai, “to give freely” or “to give graciously as a favor”).
The reason for these positive commands is that in Christ God is kind (Eph.
2:7), compassionate (Mark 1:41), and gracious (Rom.
8:32) to believers.
