Strong's Lexicon miseó: To hate, detest, abhor Original Word: μισέω Word Origin: From a primary misos (hatred) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H8130 (שָׂנֵא, sane): To hate, be hateful - H3404 (מִשְׂנָה, misnah): Hatred Usage: The Greek verb "miseó" primarily means to hate or detest. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a strong aversion or rejection, often in the context of moral or spiritual opposition. It can denote both personal animosity and a broader rejection of evil or sin. The term is used to contrast love and hate, often highlighting the choice between following God or the world. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, "miseó" was understood as a strong emotional response, often associated with enmity or hostility. In Jewish thought, hatred was seen as contrary to the command to love one's neighbor, yet there was also a recognition of righteous hatred against sin and idolatry. The New Testament reflects this dual understanding, emphasizing love for others while also calling for a rejection of sin and worldliness.
