Romans 12:9

Let love be without dissimulation—"Let your love be unfeigned" (as in II Corinthians 6:6; I Peter 2:22; and see I John 3:18).

Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good—What a lofty tone of moral principle and feeling is here inculcated! It is not, Abstain from the one, and do the other; nor, Turn away from the one, and draw to the other; but, Abhor the one, and cling, with deepest sympathy, to the other.
