Maliciousness - The Greek word properly implies a temper which delights in hurting another, even without any advantage to itself. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 1:26-32 In the horrid depravity of the heathen, the truth of our Lord's words was shown: Light was come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil; for he that doeth evil hateth the light.
