Let’s compare three words that grow and develop out of hatred enmity, animosity, and malice. The Penguin Dictionary of Psychology defines hate as a “deep, enduring, intense emotion expressing animosity, anger, and hostility towards a person, group, or object.” Comparison DefinitionĪnimosity is violent hatred active, intense hostility ill will or resentment tending toward active hostility open enmity. I know we are not perfect, but we should be working to rid our lives of things that do not please God.

Genesis 3:14-15 (TLV)ĭespite the fact that none of the King James translations use animosity.
