“In this instance, then, hate is the failure to deny oneself, the unwillingness to lay down one’s life for a brother (John 15:13). It considers its own plight first (1 Cor. 13:5); disregards the robbed and afflicted (Luke 10:30-37); despises the little ones (Matt. 18:10); withholds the cup of cold water from the thirsty (Matt. 25:42); and makes no effort to welcome the stranger, cloth the naked, or help the sick (Matt 25:43). Whenever a brother has need and one does not help him, then one has despised and, in fact, hated his brother.” – Glenn Barker
