Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 9-21. - Various admonitions, applicable to all; headed by inculcation of the all-pervading principle of love. Verse 9. - Let love be unfeigned (so is rendered elsewhere ἀνυπόκριτος in the Authorized Version, cf. 2 Corinthians 6:6; 1 Timothy 1:5; 2 Timothy 1:5; 1 Peter 1:22). Abhor (literally, abhorring) that which is evil; cleave (literally, cleaving) to that which is good. The participles ἀποστυγοῦντες, etc., here and afterwards, may be understood as mildly imperative. Or perhaps the apostle connected them in thought with ἡ ἀγάπη ἀνυπόκριτος, as if he had said, Love ye unfeignedly.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9-21) Now follow to the end of the chapter a number of general exhortations, not addressed to particular persons or classes, but to the Church at large.(9) Without dissimulation.--The same Greek word is translated "unfeigned" in 2Corinthians 6:6; 1Timothy 1:5; 2Timothy 1:5, and "without hypocrisy" in James 3:17. This last is the most literal rendering, and brings out the resemblance to Matthew 23:13, et al. . . .
