A Perfect Hatred


Τέλειον μῖσος ἐμίσουν αὐτοὺς, κ.τ.ἐ.

Εἰ ὁ τέλειος μισήσας τὸ πονηρὸν, ἀπέχεται πάσης κακίας, ὁ μεταλαμβάνων τῆς οἱασδηποτοῦν κακίας αὐτῶν τελείως οὐ μεμίσηκε


Ὠριγένης, Εἰς Ψαλμους, Ψαλμος ΡΛΗ'

'With a perfect hatred I hated them... 1 

If the hatred of wickedness is perfect, a man withdraws from all evil, and so inasmuch as he participates in wickedness he does not hate with a perfect hatred.


Origen, Excerpta On the Psalms, from Psalm 138

Ps 138. 22
