SIBI-P1 G3404-19

the hating-one

Rootμισέω (miseō)
Core Meaningsto hate, to detest, to reject, to love less, to be hostile toward
Semantic Rangeto hate, detest, abhor, reject, renounce allegiance to, love less in contrast to another, be hostile toward
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, μισέω often expresses covenantal rejection or moral opposition rather than mere emotion. It can denote active hostility toward God, righteousness, or fellow humans, and at times signifies choosing one allegiance over another, highlighting the stark relational and ethical contrasts central to biblical theology.
Morphological NotesVerb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS). The participle functions substantivally, describing a male individual characterized by ongoing hatred.
Rendering RationaleThe present active participle nominative masculine singular is rendered as "the hating-one" to reflect the ongoing aspect (present), active voice, and its substantive participial function as a masculine singular subject. This preserves the root sense of active hostility or rejection inherent in μισέω.
