definitions

word definitions according to the bible that are different than modern definitions

justice - getting what you deserve

mercy - not getting what you deserve

grace - getting what you don't deserve

love - putting someone else before yourself, selflessness

hate - hate is not the opposite of love, it can be a component of love.  righteous hatred is motivated by love, you should hate anything that hurts or enslaves someone you love.  wicked hatred is motivated by selfishness and covetousness.

selfishness - the opposite of love, self-centered

covetousness - wanting something that IS NOT rightfully yours

jealousy - protective of something that IS rightfully yours

replenish - fill completely
