1Peter 2
(1Pet 2, 1-2) Rid yourselves of all malice, deceit, insincerity [1] Rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, insincerity, envy, and all slander; [2] like newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk so that through it you may grow into salvation,
(CCC 2475) Christ's disciples have "put on the new man, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness" (Eph 4:24). By "putting away falsehood," they are to "put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander" (Eph 4:25; 1 Pet 2:1). (CCC 563) No one, whether shepherd or wise man, can approach God here below except by kneeling before the manger at Bethlehem and adoring him hidden in the weakness of a new-born child.
