What does the Bible say about hating evildoers?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we should not associate with evildoers and that true followers of God will hate those who oppose Him.

In Psalm 26:4-5, David expresses his disdain for the congregation of evildoers, stating, "I have hated the congregation of evildoers and will not sit with the wicked." This reflects the Biblical principle that God's people are called to separate themselves from those who deliberately work against God's purposes and righteousness. David's hatred here is not personal animosity but a deep-seated aversion to sin and its consequences, emphasizing the need for caution against the contagion of wickedness. The New Testament also echoes this sentiment, advising believers to not be deceived by the influence of evil communications that corrupt good manners (1 Corinthians 15:33).
