“Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.”
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. — Agapē (love, self-giving love) without hypocrisia (pretense, masked theater) opens the ethical section. The command to hate (miseō) kakos (evil, harm) and cleave to agathos (good, beneficial) reflects the dualism of moral choice—not neutrality but active allegiance to good.
