Resentment

A Cancer and a Root of Bitterness

Paul compares the church to the human body. Each part contributes something valuable to the body. Cancer is when one's own cells work against the body and for itself. Resentment - a form of hatred - is a cancer in the body of the church and must be rooted out in order to create unity in the body.
