Romans 12:9

[The following paragraph describes the inherent driving force of love in times of persecution and hatred. The temptation to abandon the path of love came from both outside and within. Roman society had become increasingly hostile towards believers. Around 67 CE – ten years after his letter to the Christians in Rom – Paul himself would be killed for his faith in Rome. Nero was in power when the Epistle to the Romans was written, and although his worst atrocities did not occur until the end of his reign, pressure from society against Christians was increasing. The Jews had already suffered when they were expelled from the city under the previous emperor Claudius, see Acts 18:2. Paul's words may also refer to internal strife, as there were tensions between Jewish and non-Jewish groups in the early church. However, considering that he addresses the civil situation in chapter 13 and internal church issues in chapters 14-15, it is likely that the words about love that follow apply both inside and outside the church.]
Love – the unfeigned [the genuine and sincere love that is righteous, unselfish, and giving] –
causes you to abhor [constantly hate] evil,
hold fast ("stick to") to [what is] good,
