Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness (abundance of malice), in humility (gentleness) receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.
James 1:21 NASB1995

I have made a habit of asking God – in prayer, before picking up His word – for Him to reveal any wicked way in me so I may confess and seek forgiveness. It is humbling to go to the throne of God and confess wrong doing in my life, but O the benefit to receive the word implanted which is saving my soul. The working out of my salvation which is impossible without God.
🌹Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,
