In this passage Paul tells us that our love should be sincere, genuine and authentic, that it should not be hypocritical. We can't take that imperative seriously without asking the question of what it means for love to be hypocritical and insincere. If my attitude toward evil falls anywhere short of hatred, if the good is something that I salute but fail to cling to than my "love" is a hollow and fragile thing, like a porcelain hammer: perfect in regard to detail, but useless as to purpose.
