CURSING AND BLESSING
FOUR VERBS in LUKE 6:27-28
#biblestudy #greeknewtestament
But to you I say to those hearing
LOVE THE ENEMIES OF YOU
DO GOOD TO THOSE HATING YOU
BLESS THE ONES WHO CURSE YOU
PRAY FOR THOSE AROUND
MAKING CURSES (about towards) YOU
Agapapate LOVE Your enemies agapoo !
Kaloos Poieite do good act "finely / beautifully to the hating
Eulogeite BLESS speak well eologeoo those who Kataroomenous kataraomai curse
Proseukhesthe pray for proseukhomai people around you making curses epeereazooo
NOTE THE IMPERATIVE FORMS
Kataraomai Kata+ ara+omai
to pray "down" to curse to ask or invoke the divine to perform negative actions that harm others
Eukhomai is strengthened by pros and peri
pray or wish for vow to
Epeereazontoon Epeereazoo related to epeereia
epi plus the er stem
to put words upon in a negative way threaten or abuse insult be spiteful despise verbally
This doesnt mean we can not speak out against evil use satire or have to allow evil "free speech" or spread propaganda
We are commanded to strive to counter balance or overwhelm evil with good.
Do good not just be nice Not to curse but to bless Love instead of hate
Prayer and Action
