John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. [kjv]
ει ο κοσμος υμας μισει γινωσκετε οτι εμε πρωτον υμων μεμισηκεν [gnt]
15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. [kjv]
ει εκ του κοσμου ητε ο κοσμος αν το ιδιον εφιλει οτι δε εκ του κοσμου ουκ εστε αλλ εγω εξελεξαμην υμας εκ του κοσμου δια τουτο μισει υμας ο κοσμος [gnt]
Can the
"universe" "hate"? Saying:
Statistics means nothing to a rock.
The ancient Greek word
"μισέω" ≈ "hate" and is from
"μῖσος" ≈ "hatred, hate" and appears to be pre-Greek in origin. It is the source of the first part of the English word
"misogynist" as someone who
"hates" "
women". Jesus says that the world will
"hate" his followers because the world
"hates" Jesus (and God). The church is the bride of Christ who is the groom. Does this make the
"world" a "
misogynist"?
If the
"(people in the) world" loves it's own, is it possible to "
out-love" the
"world" without becoming of the
"world"?
