It is used to describe an intense dislike or hatred towards something, often with a moral or ethical connotation. In the New Testament, it is used to express a believer's attitude towards evil, emphasizing a complete and utter rejection of sin and unrighteousness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of abhorrence was often linked to moral and ethical standards. Philosophers and moralists of the time would discuss virtues and vices, encouraging the rejection of behaviors and practices deemed harmful or immoral. The early Christian community, influenced by Jewish ethical teachings and the life of Jesus, adopted a similar stance, urging believers to abhor evil and cling to what is good.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and stugeó (to hate)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to abhor<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>abhor (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 655: ἀποστυγέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀποστυγέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀποστύγω</span>; <span class="accented">to dislike, abhor, have a horror of</span>: <a href="/interlinear/romans/12-9.htm">Romans 12:9</a>; (<span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 2, 47; 6, 129; <span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, others.).
