Romans 12:9, Abhor That Which Is Evil
The psalmist in psalm 1:1 pronounced the man who abhors that which is evil as a blessed man. He says “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” (Psalm 1:1)
The first are ungodly, as to their mind, the second are sinners, who not only think, but carry out the workings of their evil mind. The third are scorners glorying in their wickedness and scoffing at righteousness. The first continue in that mind of taking evil counsel, the second carry it out, as the principle of their walk and the third settle down in their evil, as on a seat.
