Without hypocrisy (anupokritov). Late double compound adjective for which see II Corinthians 6:6. Hypocritical or pretended love is no love at all as Paul describes agaph in 1Co. 13.
Abhor (apostugountev). Old verb with intensive (apo) dislike, only here in N.T. The present active participle is here employed in the sense of the present active indicative as sometimes happens with the independent participle (Robertson, Grammar, pp. 1132ff.). This same idiom appears with kollwmenoi (cleaving) for which verb see on I Corinthians 6:17, with prohgoumenoi (preferring) in verse Romans 12:10 (old verb here only in N.T.), and with the participles in verses Romans 12:11-13 and again in verses Romans 12:16-18. One can supply este if he prefers.
