Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. (NASB)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/category\/bits-of-torah-truths\">https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/category\/bits-of-torah-truths<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To Abhor that which is evil (Romans 12:9) means to reject, resist, and distance oneself from anything that violates God\u2019s character or covenant standards. The Torah establishes the foundational pattern of hating evil by commanding God\u2019s people to refuse corrupt practices, reject moral compromise, and cling to what is good.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8211; Torah parallels &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Deuteronomy 12:31 \u2013 Israel is commanded to abhor the evil practices of the nations, especially those God calls detestable.<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 7:25\u201126 \u2013 Israel must utterly reject and destroy idols, not even desiring the silver or gold on them, showing hatred of evil without compromise.<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 13:12\u201117 \u2013 Evil within the community must be purged, demonstrating that covenant loyalty requires rejecting wickedness even when it is close.<\/li>\n<li>Exodus 23:7 \u2013 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cKeep far from a false matter,\u201d<\/em><\/span> emphasizing distance from evil actions and corrupt judgment.<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 16:22 \u2013 God hates idolatrous pillars, revealing that His people must also hate what He hates.<\/li>\n<li>Leviticus 18:24\u201130 \u2013 Israel is warned not to defile themselves with the abominations of the nations, showing that evil must be actively avoided.<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 30:15\u201117 \u2013 Choosing life means rejecting evil and turning away from anything that leads to corruption or death.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>&#8211; Context Synthesis &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Paul\u2019s command to <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cabhor that which is evil\u201d<\/em><\/span> reflects the Torah\u2019s consistent call for God\u2019s people to reject anything that corrupts, defiles, or opposes God\u2019s will. In the Torah, evil is not merely avoided but actively opposed\u2014whether in idolatry, injustice, falsehood, or moral compromise. Paul draws on this same covenant logic, urging believers in Yeshua to cultivate a moral posture that refuses to tolerate or entertain evil in any form. The New Covenant ethic continues the Torah\u2019s pattern: God\u2019s people must love what He loves and hate what He hates.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8211; Core Insight &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Torah teaches that rejecting evil is essential to covenant faithfulness, requiring God\u2019s people to distance themselves from anything that corrupts or opposes His ways. Paul\u2019s instruction in Romans 12:9 builds on this foundation, calling believers in Yeshua to embody a discerning, uncompromising love that refuses to coexist with evil and clings wholeheartedly to what is good. This is how Paul taught Torah in the NT, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visual Summary of Concepts the Torah in the NT<a
