Acts of kindness toward adversaries reject malice and promote reconciliation.<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 15:7\u201310 Open your hand generously to the poor, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cand your heart shall not be grieved when you give.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Generosity without resentment counters bitterness and cultivates compassion.<\/li>\n<li>Genesis 50:19\u201321 Joseph forgives his brothers: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cYou meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Forgiveness instead of revenge models release of bitterness and malice.<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 24:14\u201315 Do not oppress the poor or withhold wages. Justice and empathy prevent resentment and exploitation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Key Observations &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bitterness as Grudge-Holding<\/span>: The clearest Torah parallel is Leviticus 19:18, which forbids bearing grudges. This directly aligns with Paul\u2019s command to put away bitterness and malice.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Forgiveness as Covenant Value<\/span>: Stories like Joseph forgiving his brothers show that bitterness is overcome by trust in God\u2019s providence and choosing reconciliation over revenge.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Generosity and Justice<\/span>: Torah laws stress fairness and compassion, preventing resentment from taking root.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Love as the Antidote<\/span>: Both Torah and Ephesians frame love as the opposite of malice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Torah says, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201clove your neighbor as yourself,\u201d<\/em><\/span> while Paul says, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cbe kind, tenderhearted, forgiving one another\u201d<\/em><\/span> (Eph. 4:32). The Torah\u2019s approach is structural and covenantal: it insists that hatred, grudges, and malice are incompatible with covenantal love. Instead, the Torah based antidote is forgiveness, compassion, and justice. Paul\u2019s exhortation in Ephesians 4:31\u201332 is essentially a restatement of these Torah principles, applied to the life of the early church. Note that these themes develop across <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Genesis \u2192 Exodus \u2192 Leviticus \u2192 Deuteronomy<\/span>, so it is possible to visually trace the progression from narrative (Joseph\u2019s forgiveness) to Torah(Leviticus\/Deuteronomy) to ethical practice (Ephesians)? This is how Paul taught Torah in the NT, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; #Torah Concept in the NT: Put Away All Malice &#8211; Episode 674 Ephesians 4:31 \u05d4\u05b8\u05e1\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc \u05de\u05b4\u05db\u05b6\u05bc\u05dd \u05db\u05b8\u05bc\u05dc \u05de\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea \u05d5\u05b0\u05d7\u05b5\u05de\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05b0\u05db\u05b7\u05e2\u05b7\u05e1 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e6\u05b0\u05e2\u05b8\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d2\u05b4\u05d3\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05e3 \u05d5\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05dc \u05e8\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05c1\u05e2\u05b8\u05d4. #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth Ephesians 4:31 4:31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24197,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[315,323,117,324,63],"class_list":{"0":"post-24196","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bits-of-torah-truths","8":"category-video","9":"tag-ephesians431","10":"tag-forgivenessandjustice","11":"tag-loveyourneighbor","12":"tag-putawaymalice","13":"tag-torahethics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24196"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24196\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24198,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24196\/revisions\/24198"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
