It good for us to hate what is evil and cling to what is good


It good for us to hate what is evil and cling to what is good

Rom 12:9

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 

Psalm 97:10

10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
    for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
    and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Am 5:15

14 Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is.

15 Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts.
Perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.

1 The 5:21, 22

20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil.
