Goodness is a fruit that believers are to produce: goodness in word and deed. Deliberately hurting others is not good. Lying, cheating, stealing, or destroying another person's reputation out of meanness is not good. We need to examine our lives to find goodness and not evilness.

Self-control is another fruit we should cultivate. Lashing out in anger, frustration, or desire to hurt isn't practicing self-control. Returning hate and spite with kindness is. Refusing to hurt someone in return for being hurt means we have self-control.

A ravening wolf on the other hand is self-centred, hungry and seeking new prey to satisfy his own need. He will attack and destroy any animal or human that he can, so that he can be satisfied. A wolf is his own master and does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. This may include hurting, lying, manipulating, acting good on the outside for show, etc.
