Bible verses about "hatred" | BBE

¹⁷ Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.

²² Do not say, I will give punishment for evil: go on waiting for the Lord, and he will be your saviour.

¹⁸ Hate is covered up by the lips of the upright man, but he who lets out evil about another is foolish.

⁴³ You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you: ⁴⁴ But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you; ⁴⁵ So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses, ²⁰ Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings, ²¹ Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God.

¹ What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies? ² You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it. ³ You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure. ⁴ O you who are false to God, do you not see that the friends of this world are not God's friends? Every man desiring to be a friend of this world makes himself a hater of God. ⁵ Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us? ⁶ But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him. ⁷ For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you. ⁸ Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind. ⁹ Be troubled, with sorrow and weeping; let your laughing be turned to sorrow and your joy to grief. ¹⁰ Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him. ¹¹ Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge. ¹² There is only one judge and law-giver, even he who has the power of salvation and of destruction; but who are you to be your neighbour's judge? ¹³ How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth: ¹⁴ When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone. ¹⁵ But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that. ¹⁶ But now you go on glorying in your pride: and all such glorying is evil. ¹⁷ The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

²⁷ But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you, ²⁸ Give blessing to those who give you curses, say prayers for those who are cruel to you. ²⁹ If a man gives you a blow on one side of your face, then let the other side be turned to him; from him who takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe. ³⁰ Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again. ³¹ Do to others as you would have them do to you. ³² If you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners have love for those who have love for them. ³³ And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners do the same. ³⁴ And if you let those have the use of your money, from whom you are hoping to get it back, what credit is it to you? even sinners do so to sinners, hoping to get back as much as they gave. ³⁵ But be loving to those who are against you and do them good, and give them your money, not giving up hope, and your reward will be great and you will be the sons of the Most High: for he is kind to evil men, and to those who have hard hearts. ³⁶ Be full of pity, even as your Father is full of pity.

²⁴ With his lips the hater makes things seem what they are not, but deceit is stored up inside him; ²⁵ When he says fair words, have no belief in him; for in his heart are seven evils: ²⁶ Though his hate is covered with deceit, his sin will be seen openly before the meeting of the people.

¹⁸ If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.
