Strong's Lexicon stugétos: Hateful, detestable Original Word: στυγητός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb στυγέω (stugeō), meaning "to hate" or "to abhor." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "stugétos," the concept of something being detestable or abominable is often expressed in the Hebrew Bible with words like תּוֹעֵבָה (to'evah), which is used to describe things that are abominable or loathsome to God. Usage: The term "stugétos" is used to describe something that is abhorred or detested. It conveys a strong sense of revulsion or moral repugnance. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe attitudes or behaviors that are contrary to God's nature and commands. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of hatred or detestation was often associated with moral and ethical judgments. The Greeks had a strong sense of honor and shame, and behaviors that were considered "stugétos" would have been those that brought dishonor or were seen as morally reprehensible. In the Jewish context, which heavily influenced early Christian thought, the idea of hating what is evil and clinging to what is good was a common theme, as seen in the wisdom literature and prophetic writings.
