MALICE
1. (i) OT.All in Pr.-Bk. [Note: Prayer Book.] version: Psa_94:23; Psa_Psa_119:150; Psa_10:17 (adj.) Psa_59:5 (adj.) and Psa_55:3 (adv.).
(ii.) Apocr. [Note: Apocrypha, Apocryphal.] All in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] : Wis_12:10; Wis_12:20; Wis_16:14 (and RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ), * Sir_27:30; Sir_28:7, * 1Ma_9:51; 1Ma_13:6, 2Ma_4:50.
(iii) NT.In RV [Note: Revised Version.] : 1Co_5:8; 1Co_14:20, Eph_4:31, Col_3:8, Tit_3:6, Jam_1:21 mg., 1Pe_2:1 (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ); maliciousness Rom_1:29, 1Pe_2:16 (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] malice); malicious * 3Jn_1:10 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] .
2. Discussion is needless as to (i.), for the Heb. is clear. (See RV [Note: Revised Version.] .) All the other instances, however, except those marked * represent a Gr. word (kakia) which has a much wider meaning than malice as now used. It may be wickedness, as Act_8:22, Jam_1:21; or evil = trouble, Mat_6:34.
3. The point is important, because malice has acquired its exclusive meaning spitefulness only since the 17th century. It indicated evil of any sort (cf. Pr.-Bk. [Note: Prayer Book.] as cited above, and for some striking examples see art. in Hastings DB [Note: Dictionary of the Bible.] ). This change accounts for RV [Note: Revised Version.] renderings of Apocr. [Note: Apocrypha, Apocryphal.] , and would perhaps have justified further emendation of AV [Note: Authorized Version.] .
4. The modern usage is a return to the classical malitia. Its relation to kakia was discussed by Cicero, who coined vitiositas as the nearest rendering; for whereas malice indicated a particular fault, vitiosity stood for all (Tusc. Disp. iv. 34).

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
One destructive fruit of sinful human nature is malice the desire to harm someone or the feeling of pleasure at someones misfortune (Psa_41:5; Eze_25:6; Tit_3:3; 1Pe_2:1). Malice is often the cause of false accusations (Exo_23:1; Psa_35:11; Mat_22:18; see HATRED).
Unless people deal with their malice, it will bring Gods punishment upon them (Rom_1:29; Rom_2:2). It is an attitude that should have no place among Gods people (1Co_5:8; Eph_4:31; Col_3:8; 1Pe_2:1). The way to overcome malice is through the proper exercise of Christian love (1Co_13:6; see LOVE).

Malice
is a settled or deliberate determination to revenge or do hurt to another. It more frequently denotes the disposition of inferior minds to execute every purpose of mischief within the more limited circle of their abilities. It is a most hateful temper in the sight of God, strictly forbidden in his holy Word (Colossians 3:812), disgraceful to rational creatures, and every way inimical to the spirit of Christianity (Mat_5:44). SEE MALEVOLENCE.
