Love
Love is putting someone else first. This is the primary meaning.
- Ro 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
- Mt 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Though someone placed in second position may be the recipient of your wrath; simply by not being in first position, they are hated.
Original sin is when you put yourself first by declaring good and evil for yourself. You usurp God's position. You defend, feed, and clothe yourself first. The Golden rule reverses this. We are to put others first.
Love absorbs sin.
When someone steals your phone, you give it to them. If it is a gift, they did not sin. You have absorbed their sin. This is what Christ did on the cross. He chose to not take offense saying, "Forgive them, they know not what they do."
