1. Petrus 2:1

The command 'wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings' uses the same 'laying aside' metaphor as Ephesians 4:22 ('put off the old man'), presenting the Christian life as a continuing moral divestiture of pre-conversion social pathologies. The five vices — malice, guile, hypocrisies, envies, evil speakings — are specifically social and communicative, suggesting Peter has in mind the community's relational practice rather than private moral defects. The 'guile' (dolos) language echoes 1 Peter 2:22's christological citation of Isaiah 53:9 ('neither was guile found in his mouth'), making Christ's guilelessness the standard against which the community's communication is measured. The transition in verse 2 to 'desire the sincere milk of the word' creates an inversion: strip away vice, take in nourishment — both are essential movements of the same spiritual growth dynamic.
