What does Paul mean by loving without hypocrisy?

Answered in 1 source

Paul means our love must be genuine, not motivated by self-interest (Romans 12:9).

Loving without hypocrisy, as Paul instructs in Romans 12:9, indicates that Christian love should be sincere and devoid of ulterior motives. This kind of love is not merely an outward display for the sake of appearance, as seen with Ananias and Sapphira, but should flow from a transformed heart. When believers experience regeneration, they possess a new nature that compels them to truly love others as Christ loves. This love should extend into action, preferring one another in honor and serving them selflessly, reflecting the true nature of the gospel.
