hate
All terms which define the emotions or affections are comparative. Natural affection is to be, as compared with the believer's devotedness to Christ, as if it were hate.
See (Mat 12:47-50)
where Christ illustrates this principle in His own person. But in the Lord the natural affections are sanctified and lifted to the level of the divine love.
Compare (Joh 19:26); (Joh 19:27); (Eph 5:25-28). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| If any man come to me, and hate not his father - Comparatively to Christ: yea, so as actually to renounce his field, oxen, wife, all things, and act as if he hated them, when they stand in competition with him. Mat 10:37. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| And hate not - Matthew, Mat 10:37, expresses the true meaning of this word, when he says, He who loveth his father and mother More than me. In Mat 6:24, he uses the word hate in the same sense. When we read, Rom 9:13, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated, the meaning is simply, I have loved Jacob - the Israelites, more than Esau - the Edomites; and that this is no arbitrary interpretation of the word hate, but one agreeable to the Hebrew idiom, appears from what is said on Gen 29:30, Gen 29:31, where Leah's being hated is explained by Rachel's being loved more than Leah. See also Deu 21:15-17; and Bishop Pearce on this place. See also the notes on Mat 10:37 (note). |
34 And [2532] when he had called [4341] the people [3793] unto him with [4862] his [846] disciples [3101] also, he said [2036] unto them [846], Whosoever [3748] will [2309] come [2064] after [3694] me [3450], let him deny [533] himself [1438], and [2532] take up [142] his [846] cross [4716], and [2532] follow [190] me [3427].
35 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] will [2309] save [4982] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]; but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall lose [622] his [846] life [5590] for [1752] my sake [1700] and [2532] the gospel's [2098], the same [3778] shall save [4982] it [846].
34 Think [3543] not [3361] that [3754] I am come [2064] to send [906] peace [1515] on [1909] earth [1093]: I came [2064] not [3756] to send [906] peace [1515], but [235] a sword [3162].
35 For [1063] I am come [2064] to set [1369] a man [444] at variance [1369] against [2596] his [846] father [3962], and [2532] the daughter [2364] against [2596] her [846] mother [3384], and [2532] the daughter in law [3565] against [2596] her [846] mother in law [3994].
36 And [2532] a man's [444] foes [2190] shall be they of his own [846] household [3615].
25 Husbands [435], love [25] your [1438] wives [1135], even as [2531] Christ [5547] also [2532] loved [25] the church [1577], and [2532] gave [3860] himself [1438] for [5228] it [846];
26 That [2443] he [846] might sanctify [37] and cleanse it [2511] with the washing [3067] of water [5204] by [1722] the word [4487],
27 That [2443] he might present [3936] it [846] to himself [1438] a glorious [1741] church [1577], not [3361] having [2192] spot [4696], or [2228] wrinkle [4512], or [2228] any [5100] such thing [5108]; but [235] that [2443] it should be [5600] holy [40] and [2532] without blemish [299].
28 So [3779] ought [3784] men [435] to love [25] their [1438] wives [1135] as [5613] their own [1438] bodies [4983]. He that loveth [25] his [1438] wife [1135] loveth [25] himself [1438].
27 Then [1534] saith he [3004] to the disciple [3101], Behold [2400] thy [4675] mother [3384]! And [2532] from [575] that [1565] hour [5610] that disciple [3101] took [2983] her [846] unto [1519] his own [2398] home.
26 When Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] saw [1492] his mother [3384], and [2532] the disciple [3101] standing by [3936], whom [3739] he loved [25], he saith [3004] unto his [846] mother [3384], Woman [1135], behold [2400] thy [4675] son [5207]!
47 Then [1161] one [5100] said [2036] unto him [846], Behold [2400], thy [4675] mother [3384] and [2532] thy [4675] brethren [80] stand [2476] without [1854], desiring [2212] to speak [2980] with thee [4671].
48 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto him that told [2036] him [846], Who [5101] is [2076] my [3450] mother [3384]? and [2532] who [5101] are [1526] my [3450] brethren [80]?
49 And [2532] he stretched forth [1614] his [846] hand [5495] toward [1909] his [846] disciples [3101], and said [2036], Behold [2400] my [3450] mother [3384] and [2532] my [3450] brethren [80]!
50 For [1063] whosoever [3748] [302] shall do [4160] the will [2307] of my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772], the same [846] is [2076] my [3450] brother [80], and [2532] sister [79], and [2532] mother [3384].
37 He that loveth [5368] father [3962] or [2228] mother [3384] more than [5228] me [1691] is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450]: and [2532] he that loveth [5368] son [5207] or [2228] daughter [2364] more than [5228] me [1691] is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450].
37 He that loveth [5368] father [3962] or [2228] mother [3384] more than [5228] me [1691] is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450]: and [2532] he that loveth [5368] son [5207] or [2228] daughter [2364] more than [5228] me [1691] is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450].
15 If a man [0376] have two [08147] wives [0802], one [0259] beloved [0157], and another [0259] hated [08130], and they have born [03205] him children [01121], both the beloved [0157] and the hated [08130]; and if the firstborn [01060] son [01121] be hers that was hated [08146]:
16 Then it shall be, when [03117] he maketh his sons [01121] to inherit [05157] that which he hath, that he may [03201] not make the son [01121] of the beloved [0157] firstborn [01069] before [06440] the son [01121] of the hated [08130], which is indeed the firstborn [01060]:
17 But he shall acknowledge [05234] the son [01121] of the hated [08130] for the firstborn [01060], by giving [05414] him a double [08147] portion [06310] of all that he hath [04672]: for he is the beginning [07225] of his strength [0202]; the right [04941] of the firstborn [01062] is his.
31 And when the LORD [03068] saw [07200] that Leah [03812] was hated [08130], he opened [06605] her womb [07358]: but Rachel [07354] was barren [06135].
30 And he went in [0935] also unto Rachel [07354], and he loved [0157] also Rachel [07354] more than Leah [03812], and served [05647] with him yet seven [07651] other [0312] years [08141].
13 As [2531] it is written [1125], Jacob [2384] have I loved [25], but [1161] Esau [2269] have I hated [3404].
24 No man [3762] can [1410] serve [1398] two [1417] masters [2962]: for [1063] either [2228] he will hate [3404] the one [1520], and [2532] love [25] the other [2087]; or else [2228] he will hold [472] to the one [1520], and [2532] despise [2706] the other [2087]. Ye cannot [3756] [1410] serve [1398] God [2316] and [2532] mammon [3126].
37 He that loveth [5368] father [3962] or [2228] mother [3384] more than [5228] me [1691] is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450]: and [2532] he that loveth [5368] son [5207] or [2228] daughter [2364] more than [5228] me [1691] is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450].
