Let Love Be Without Hypocrisy
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
ἡ ἀγάπη ἀνυπόκριτος. ἀποστυγοῦντες τὸ πονηρόν, κολλώμενοι τῷ ἀγαθῷ.
📜 THE VERSE
Let love be without hypocrisy. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Is the kindness I offer from the heart, or a courtesy I put on?
📝Reflection
The Greek anypokritos means "without a mask," from the mask (hypokrites) an actor wore on stage. Paul says do not put a mask on love. Smiling on the outside while harboring another heart within—that is the love of hypocrisy. I often confused courtesy with sincerity. A smooth word and a warm smile are not always genuine. Real love is sometimes clumsy and rough. Kindness without a mask, even when it is not eloquent, reaches the other exactly.
