Book of Romans verse by verse study

[Jig]

Yes, it is a unique word since it is only used here in Romans within this particular verse. What is interesting is that I could not find it in the LXX either.

ἀποστυγοῦντες Morphology: verb, present, active, particle, plural, nominative, masculine.

Let's look at the broader verse. I've highlighted all other words with the same morphology.

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;
11 not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer,
13 contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

I need some more research. The lemma (or root Greek word) is ἀποστυγέω. It indeed seems to stem from 4767 (στυγητό&#962.

Louw Nida 88.204: regarded as worthy of being hated.

στυγητός is found in The Works of Philo's "The Decalogue" (131) Since, then, illicit cohabitation produces such great calamities, adultery is very naturally a detestable thing hated by God, and has been set down as the first of all transgressions.

And in Titus 3:3 (NASB95)
3 For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

In Titus we see it being used with the same exact morphology as we see with ἀποστυγοῦντες being used in Romans 12:9. So it is true this is our only good biblical comparison verse.

I decided to look at both these words as they both appear to use the prefix root word #5384 tho using 2 different root suffices.

A form of this word #5360 is also used in 1 of the 7 Assemblies mentioned in Revelation 3.....the Philadelphia Assembly. Interesting

#2799 used 40 times in 34 verses according to ISA. Used mainly in the Gospels, 2 times Acts, 7 times in Epistles, 6 times Revelation and is rendered as "weeping" in Bible versions.

I find it interesting that Revelation uses that word as many times as is used in all the Epistles put together.

2 forms of the root word #1349 are used in this verse, both with the prefix #1537. Literally "out-justicing".

Curiously both these words are used only in Luke of the Gospels, the other times in Acts and Epistles, tho #1556 is also used twice in Revelation.
