King James | Joh 7:7 | The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. |
Word | American Tract Society - Definition |
HATE | Often denotes in Scripture only a less degree of love, Ge 29:30,31 De 21:15 Pr 13:24 Mal 1:2,3 Lu 14:26 Ro 9:13. God has a just and perfect abhorrence of sin and sinners, Ps 5:5. But hatred in general is a malevolent passion, Ga 5:20, and no one who is not perfect in love, can hate without sin. |
