HATE
Often denotes in Scripture only a less degree of love, Genesis 29:30, Genesis 1:29 Deuteronomy 21:15 Proverbs 13:24 Malachi 1:2, Malachi 1:1 Luke 14:26 Romans 9:13. God has a just and perfect abhorrence of sin and sinners, Psalms 5:5. but hatred in general is a malevolent passion, Galatians 5:20, and no one who is not perfect in love, can hate without sin.
